NFL fans think Pittsburgh Steelers star George Pickens was 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 after their resounding 29-10 win over the Steelers when Pickens approached from behind the camera.
The receiver congratulated Kelce and Mahomes and shook their hands, although fans think he made the move in order to engineer a trade to Kansas City. One posted on X: 'That was him telling them he's interested in being a Chief asap.'. Another questioned: 'What the hell is Pickens doing?'.
'Laying the groundwork for him to come to Kansas City,' a third wrote. NFL fans think George Pickens was issuing a come-and-get-me plea to Kelce and Mahomes. . Pickens had three catches for 50 yards during the game as he continued what has been a controversial season so far.
He brawled with a Cleveland Browns player last month and was then flagged for two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties in a win over the Cincinnati Bengals. There was no Taylor Swift in attendance but Kelce still managed to set a new Chiefs touchdown record as he finally surpassed fellow tight end Tony Gonzalez.
Patrick Mahomes also 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. The two-time defending Super Bowl champions raced to an early 13-point lead and were never really threatened by the Steelers, who have dropped three straight as their chances of capturing the AFC North took another hit.
