Pittsburgh Steelers receiver George Pickens thinks the Rams were trying to draw a taunting penalty from him.
PITTSBURGH -- On two instances, late in the fourth quarter of a tight game against the Los Angeles Rams, two Pittsburgh Steelers wide receivers let their emotions get the best of them and were subsequently flagged for taunting penalties.
Pickens said he thought the Rams were intentionally trying to elicit a personal foul for him. He claimed they pushed him to the ground, talked plenty of trash and tried to get under his skin. From there, Pickens believed the Los Angeles secondary continued to try and throw him off his game. After he was flagged for taunting later in the second half, coaches pulled him and Johnson aside for a short conversation.
