The Pittsburgh Steelers were anything but explosive on Sunday.
The Steelers' offense was lethargic, inept, and downright embarrassing for the vast majority of the afternoon.
Well, budding star WR George Pickens was visually frustrated on the sideline, and it carried over after the game:

"Pickens would turn down speaking to reporters following the game, instead opting to leave because he did not have much to say," said Nick Farabaugh of Steelers Now.
An offense that was stuck in the mud, everybody with a vested interest in the Steelers offense wanted to see Pickens receive more touches, including himself:
Pickens would finish the day with seven targets, five receptions, and a lackluster 36 yards.
Pittsburgh didn't even attempt to stretch the field, opting to deek and dunk the ball as if the 49ers linebackers and safeties couldn't defend the confined areas of the field.
The scouting report on the 49ers' defense is to attack the perimeter, especially if you have the horses that Pittsburgh does.
Now, that's no excuse for "diva' behavior, something I'm sure Pittsburgh will nip in the bud following Pickens' actions.
Answering the media is a part of the job description, win or lose. Pickens knows that and hopefully will get better with the intangible part of the game as he matures.
