🏈 New York Jets wide receiver Davante Adams loves the physicality of George Pickens game
“George is a helluva talent… he’s got a very unorthodox style. I’m a fan of his game every since college. He’s a dawg,” Adams said on the Up & Adams Show with Kay Adams.
🏈 Cam Heyward tied Pittsburgh Steelers legend Joe Greene with four first-team All-Pro selections. With Heyward’s banner season at 35 years old, he has bolstered his chances greatly for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
🏈 Despite being 10-point underdogs, Colin Cowherd of FS1 expects the Pittsburgh Steelers to give the Baltimore Ravens a fight on Saturday night in the Wild Card game on Saturday night at M&T Bank Stadium.
“I am on a very small lonely island. I think the Steelers are going to play Baltimore very tough,” Cowherd said.
🏈 Dan Orlovsky points out that the Steelers need to be a lot better in the run game on Saturday night, especially on toss plays. To say the least, the run blocking has been subpar in recent weeks.

🏈 Steelers All-Pro outside linebacker T.J. Watt had a 91.4 run defense grade and 90.1 pass rush grade this season, according to Pro Football Focus. He was the only edge defender with a 90+ grade in both categories.
🏈 The Pittsburgh Penguins wished the Steelers good luck in the playoffs.
🏈 George Pickens has 12 receptions of 30+ air yards this season. That’s the second-most since 2000, behind only Tyreek Hill in 2017, who had 13.
🏈 Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk thinks Saturday night could be the last game of Russell Wilson’s career.
“If they lose a game on Saturday night, you think anyone wants Russell Wilson back next year?” Florio said on Pro Football Talk Live.
