Steelers’ George Pickens battles Browns’ Greg Newsome in scrap

George Pickens appeared to find himself in a shoving match with a Browns defensive back just as the final whistle blew in Cleveland’s 24-19 home victory over the Steelers on “Thursday Night Football.”

The Prime Video broadcast capped the scuffle when Pickens was restrained by what appeared to be stadium staff after pushing Browns corner Greg Newsome II behind the end zone and near the stands.

Pickens could then be seen with his arm around Newsome, and then the pair shuffled as they walked to the seats.

This all happened when Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson threw a failed Hail Mary into the end zone in the last second with Pittsburgh down 24-19 and only six seconds left on the clock.

As the two teams shook hands after the loss, Pickens and Newsome could still be seen near the stands.

When the camera returned to the scene, Pickens was being held down and Newsom got up from the ground and walked away with an official standing next to him.

Steelers receiver Mike Williams also walked into the frame and seemingly tried to calm the situation.

“Something got Pickens mad about that,” broadcaster Al Michaels said somewhat dismissively on the air.

After the game, Newsome posted on X: “Fake tough guy” with three laughing emojis, an apparent shot at Pickens.

The Browns upset the AFC North-leading Steelers thanks to a Nick Chubb touchdown run in the final minute as heavy snow fell in Cleveland with just 57 seconds left.

Cleveland let a 12-point lead disappear in the fourth quarter and trailed by one with just over three minutes remaining before regaining the lead for good.

“I don’t really think the Cleveland Browns are a good team at all. I think the circumstances saved them today,” Pickens told reporters in the locker room.

However, the Browns remain in the cellar of the AFC North with a 3-8 record this year.
