PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens had just the third most snaps out of all wide receivers in their 20-17 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Van Jefferson and Calvin Austin III each outsnapped Pickens, who played just 34 out of 58 possible snaps, while the other two played 47 out of the 58 possible snaps.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens did not play a full complement of snaps during the Week 5 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, and he didn't run a ton of routes, either. Head coach Mike Tomlin explained why that was the case following the game.
