Cleveland pulled off a surprising 24-19 win in snowy conditions on Thursday night, securing their victory as Pittsburgh&#8217;s &#8220;Hail Mary&#8221; attempt landed safely in the end zone. Footage shared on X revealed that while several players were focused on the ball, Pickens was involved in a scuffle with Cleveland defensive back Greg Newsome II. <\/p>\n<p>Steelers&#8217; top receiver George Pickens seemed more interested in brawling with Newsome than trying to catch the Hail Mary pass. The video showed them shoving each other as they ran through the end zone, seemingly leading to Pickens pushing Newsome into the stands before both fell down. Steelers wide receiver Mike Williams intervened to separate them, stating he wasn&#8217;t sure what had happened but went over to help.<\/p>\n<p>Newsome later described Pickens as a &#8220;fake tough guy,&#8221; while Pickens claimed nothing significant occurred during that moment. He attributed Pittsburgh&#8217;s loss not to Cleveland but rather to poor weather conditions, asserting that they played a major role in the game and suggesting that it favored the Browns at home. Additionally, he expressed frustration over officiating decisions during his encounter with cornerback Martin Emerson Jr., which he believed warranted a penalty call against him<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2372566,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Picture-23.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[6733,4004,6169,7215,11277],"class_list":["post-2372565","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-controversy","tag-fight","tag-loss","tag-nfl","tag-steelers"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Picture-23.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2372565","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2372565"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2372565\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2372569,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2372565\/revisions\/2372569"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2372566"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2372565"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2372565"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2372565"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
