It bounced off his hands and Bears linebacker\u00a0Tremaine Edmunds\u00a0made an athletic play to intercept the pass.<\/p>\n<p>After the play, Pickens was caught on the sideline slamming his helmet on the ground. Multiple players, including an injured\u00a0CeeDee Lamb, tried to calm Pickens down, but to no avail. Pickens was seen later with a\u00a0towel over his head, looking upset on the sideline.<\/p>\n<p>The Cowboys played without Lamb for most of the day, which increased the workload for Pickens and the rest of the pass-catchers. Pickens finished the afternoon with five catches on nine targets for 68 yards with a touchdown.\u00a0Tight end Jake Ferguson was also busy, snagging 13 passes for 82 yards.<\/p>\n<p>The Cowboys had a chance late to pull closer and tried to go to Pickens a few times inside the 5-yard line. However, the drive ended with\u00a0Dak Prescott\u00a0throwing an interception in the end zone, ending their comeback bid.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Cowboys WR George Pickens Has Had Questionable Moments<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Pickens\u2019 sideline outburst went viral, sparking plenty of reactions from fans who had been waiting for the former Steelers receiver to boil over.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnly took three weeks for George to lose his (expletive),\u201d\u00a0one fan said. \u201cI thought it would be at least 5. Love to see fireworks in Big D.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFinally got the Pickens crash out,\u201d\u00a0another added.<\/p>\n<p>The Cowboys\u00a0acquired Pickens this offseason in a trade\u00a0with the Steelers, sending a 2026 third-round pick and a 2027 fifth-rounder to Pittsburgh while also receiving a 2027 sixth-round selection. Despite some character concerns, Pickens quickly impressed Dallas since his arrival.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a guy that loves football, loves his teammates, and he\u2019s been excited every day that he\u2019s been there,\u201d\u00a0Prescott said of Pickens in June. \u201cHe\u2019s been early, too, so no concerns on the personal matters of G.P. or anything about it. I\u2019m just super excited that he\u2019s on our team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pickens knows his reputation but said following the trade that he\u2019s working on bettering himself both on and off the field.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t really change anyone\u2019s opinion [of] me personally. Just like I said, continue to grow,\u201d\u00a0Pickens said. \u201cI feel like everybody in the world has to grow. You get older and older as you grow. Like I said, I\u2019m just trying to build a winning culture, which they already have at the Cowboys. I\u2019m just glad to be joining it.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Cowboys Provide Positive Update on CeeDee Lamb<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Cowboys\u2019 offense struggled to find its rhythm without Lamb, who exited before logging a catch. Lamb entered the matchup with 16 receptions for 222 yards on the season \u2014 both team highs.<\/p>\n<p>After the game, owner Jerry Jones offered a reassuring update, noting the injury wasn\u2019t as severe as initially feared.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s just keep our fingers crossed,\u201d\u00a0Jones said.<\/p>\n<p>Dallas will need its star receiver back quickly, with a tough test looming against the\u00a0Green Bay Packers. The Packers, fresh off a surprising loss to the\u00a0Cleveland Browns, will be eager to rebound as the Cowboys try to avoid slipping to 1-3.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getty Images<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":96913,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-96911","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>\ud83d\udea8\ud83d\udea8\ud83d\udea8SIDELINE MELTDOWN MAYHEM: Cowboys WR George Pickens goes nuclear after crushing drop against the Bears, helmet slams echo as teammates look stunned, whispers of locker-room chaos are already catching fire!
