Just as the final whistle rang in Cleveland's 24-19 home win over the Steelers on “Thursday Night Football,” George Pickens appeared to get into a shoving match with a Browns defensive back. .
The Prime Video broadcast showed the end of the scuffle where Pickens shoved Browns corner Greg Newsome II in the back of the end zone and near the stands, before being restrained by what appeared to be stadium staff.
Pickens was then seen putting his arm around Newsom, and the two then scuffled as they made their way to their seats.
All of this came as Pittsburgh lost 24-19 with six seconds left when Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson fired a last-second Hail Mary into the end zone that failed. It happened when.
As both teams shook hands after the loss, Pickens and Newsome could be seen still in action just outside the stands.
When the cameras returned to the scene, Pickens was restrained and Newsom got up from the ground and walked away with the staff member by his side.
Steelers receiver Mike Williams also stepped into the frame and appeared to try to calm the situation down.
Broadcaster Al Michaels said somewhat dismissively on the air, “Maybe Pickens is upset about something.''
After the game, Newsome posted a “fake tough guy” and three laughing emojis on X, clearly aimed at Pickens.
With heavy snow falling in Cleveland, the Browns upset the AFC North-leading Steelers on Nick Chubb's touchdown run with 57 seconds left in the game.
Cleveland trailed by 12 points in the fourth quarter and was down by one with just over three minutes left, but regained the lead for good.
“I don't think the Cleveland Browns are a good team at all. I think the conditions helped them today,” Pickens told reporters in the locker room.
However, the Browns remain in the basement of the AFC North with 3 wins and 8 losses on the year.
