Dallas Cowboys players and coaches alike have spoken highly of wide receiver George Pickens since the offseason after acquiring him in a trade from the Pittsburgh Steelers.<\/p>\n

It didn’t take long for him to become a fan favorite in Arlington, but with the regular season now underway, the positivity that tends to come with every offseason is being tested.<\/p>\n

Pickens and the Cowboys hit an early-season low in Week 3’s brutal 31-14 loss to the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field on Sunday, and the standout wide receiver was partly to blame.<\/p>\n

While the Cowboys secondary was the primary reason for the dreadful loss, Pickens didn’t exactly help Dallas’ chances at the start of the fourth quarter after dropping a perfectly-placed pass from Dak Prescott that bounced up in the air and into the arms of Bears linebacker Tremaine Edmunds at the Chicago 27-yard line.<\/p>\n

After the critical turnover, cameras caught Pickens on the sideline slamming his helmet onto the ground in frustration as teammates attempted to calm him down.<\/p>\n

With the Cowboys in position to cut in to the deficit, Pickens’ mishap ended what was Dallas’ last real chance at putting together a comeback. The offense failed to score for the entire second half despite getting into the red zone on the game’s final two drives.<\/p>\n

It wasn’t all bad for Pickens, who had a one-handed touchdown grab in the first half that allowed the Cowboys to tie the game at 14-14 after a two-point conversion. He finished with five catches for 68 yards and the score while serving as Dallas’ WR1 after CeeDee Lamb exited early with an ankle injury.<\/p>\n

Though Lamb avoided long-term injury, it’s unlikely he will be 100 percent headed into Week 4’s highly-anticipated matchup against the Green Bay Packers and Micah Parsons.<\/p>\n

With Lamb’s status uncertain, Pickens will have to quickly flush Week 3 away and bounce back if the Cowboys are to have any chance at taking down the Packers on Sunday.<\/p>\n
