The Steelers have the playoffs on the line tonight, while the Ravens have clinched. With this being the biggest game of the season for the Steelers, players will have to step up to win this game with the Steelers as short underdogs. Who will it be for the Steelers?
My money is on George Pickens. Pickens is an incredibly athletic and quick receiver. He is a rookie out of Georgia who was taken in the second round, and he has shown great chemistry with quarterback Kenny Pickett.
When Kenny Pickett is under center, Pickens has been his favorite target. Pickens is second on the team with 47 receptions and 700 receiving yards, but his 14.9 average per catch leads the team. This high average is a direct result of the big plays he hits with Pickett under center, which he will be once again tonight. The big play was a big part of the game in the last meeting with the Ravens, as Pickens had just three catches but 78 yards. He had a 42-yard reception in that game, and he has the speed to do it again. What helps is that the Raven's secondary ranks 31st in the NFL in coverage against deep passes. In his last game with Pickett, Pickens had five catches for 57 yards.
With Pickett playing, Pickens has hit this line in six of his ten games. The Ravens' secondary ranks bottom-five in receptions and yards to opposing wide receivers. With the Ravens being so good against the run, I think Harris will be bottled up tonight, forcing the Steelers into more passing situations. Pickens broke this line the last game against the Ravens on only three receptions, and he should be able to pass his line again tonight.
