The Pittsburgh Steelers are, once again, out of the playoffs a lot earlier than they would want, losing to Baltimore in the Wild Card round.
But, there is one small consolation prize coming out of the loss.
Steelers wide receiver George Pickens has been named the 2024 Week 19 NFL Way to Play award-winner.
The NFL’s website says each week a player is “awarded for their excellent playing technique. The winner will receive a $5,000 USA Football Equipment Grant from NFL Foundation for the youth or high school football program of their choice.”
Pickens was recognized for this amazing touchdown catch from Russell Wilson in the 3rd quarter of Saturday’s loss.
Pickens was able to catch the ball in between two defenders to score a 36-yard touchdown.
While was an impressive catch, the touchdown made the score 28-14 with under 3 minutes left in the 3rd.
That would be the final as well, with the Steelers getting blown out again in a Wild Card game.
But, if you’re looking for a positive, here you go!
