Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens was finally on the field after missing a few weeks due to injury.

His reward was a game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Following the 29-10 loss, many online were sure that he was subtly issuing a come-and-get-me plea when he spoke to Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes on Christmas Day.

The Kansas City Chiefs pair were being interviewed by Netflix’s Stacey Dales when Pickens interrupted the interview to give his respect.

Some praised George Pickens for his good sportsmanship, while others were cynical and thought it was a signal from the wide receiver to the Chiefs star to try and spark some type of trade to get him on their team.

“George Pickens hits the Chiefs players with the “come get me” dap ,” an account on X stated while posting the video of the moment.

In the game, Pickens had three catches for 50 yards.

On the other side, Patrick Mahomes passed for 320 yards and three touchdowns as the Chiefs locked up the top seed in the AFC for the fourth time in seven seasons.

There was no Taylor Swift in attendance, but Travis Kelce had a memorable game. He set a new Chiefs touchdown record and finally surpassed fellow tight end Tony Gonzalez. Kelce caught eight passes for 84 yards and a touchdown.

Insider Believed That Steelers Could Trade George Pickens

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Picken made headlines for interrupting Netflix’s postgame interview with Kansas City Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce.

Pickens barged into the postgame interview to high-five both players. Many thought he was angling for a trade.

Earlier this year, The Athletic’s Dianna Russini believed the Steelers could trade him before the deadline.

“I like the idea of under the rug, because you’re right, I don’t think that’s a name that’s getting floated around right now as something that seems obvious. But when you start thinking about how he could fit in the Chiefs offense, it does make a lot of sense,” Russini said on the Scoop City Podcast.

That did not happen, but it does not mean it couldn’t happen in the offseason.
