Coach Tomlin Voices Concern Over Frustration-Fueled Performance of Wide Receiver George Pickens
Mike Tomlin is concerned about wide receiver George Pickens’ performance as the Pittsburgh Steelers struggle with three losses in four games. In a news conference, Tomlin stressed the need for a solution-oriented approach over frustration without maturity.

Tomlin stressed that unconstructive frustrations impair the team’s success and stressed the significance of managing frustrations professionally and maturely. The coach chastised Pickens during the game, expressing concern over his actions. Pickens had five catches for 19 yards, his second-lowest yardage this season, despite his complaints.

Johnson supported Pickens, acknowledging that negativity hurts performance.
