Just In: NFL Slaps Steelers WR George Pickens With Two 5-Figure Fines
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens has been hit with two hefty fines by the NFL for separate infractions during last week’s game. The league cited Pickens for unsportsmanlike conduct and taunting, actions that violated its rules regarding player behavior.
The combined fines, which total in the five-figure range, reflect the league’s ongoing crackdown on on-field misconduct and its emphasis on maintaining sportsmanship. Sources indicate that Pickens was flagged for a post-touchdown celebration deemed excessive and for a taunting gesture directed at an opposing player during a heated moment in the game.
Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin declined to comment on the fines but emphasized the importance of discipline and professionalism during games. Pickens, one of the Steelers’ standout players this season, has not yet addressed the fines publicly.
This development comes as the Steelers gear up for a critical matchup this weekend, and fans are eager to see how Pickens responds on and off the field.
