After the game, head coach Mike Tomlin addressed this when asked by the media and offered up a rather odd explanation for it. Mike Tomlin says George Pickens was limited because of “snap management” — compared it to resting and rotating defensive lineman like Cam Heyward — and there’s “no underlying story” Tomlin attributed the absence to what he called “snap management” and compared the 23-year-old Pickens to the 35-year-old Cam Heyward in terms of resting and rotating players in and out.
