Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens’ regular season ended with a whimper and the fans at Acrisure Stadium let him know about it on Saturday night.
Pickens had one catch on six targets for a grand total of zero yards. Pittsburgh’s offense was nowhere to be found as they fell to the Cincinnati Bengals 19-17.

The ESPN broadcast showed Pickens getting into it with fans at the stadium. One of Pickens’ teammates had to step in and get him to focus on the game instead of those who were talking trash to him on the sideline.
Pickens didn’t speak to the media after the game. Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson expressed support for him.
"I believe in George," Wilson said, via ESPN. "Listen, everything's not always perfect for everyone. This is an imperfect game and everything else. I believe in George, I believe in who he is, the player that he is.

"He's been a star for us all season, and he's going to be a difference-maker obviously for us in the playoffs. I'm looking forward to that and what he can do, what we can do together. And I'm not blinking on George. If anybody believes in him, I definitely do."
Pickens’ lackadaisical effort has been an underlying theme of the Steelers’ season.
Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin even came out and said Pickens needed to "grow up in a hurry."
A lot of focus will be on Pickens as Pittsburgh gets ready for the playoffs.

Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce celebrated his historic touchdown catch last week against the Pittsburgh Steelers with a nod to the legendary Tony Gonzalez.
Kelce dunked the football through the goalposts as Gonzalez did during the course of his career with the Chiefs and the Atlanta Falcons. The touchdown from Kelce was the 77th of his career, which passed Gonzalez on the all-time list.

But the celebration hurt him more in the wallet than anything else.
Kelce was fined $14,069 for "Unsportsmanlike Conduct Use of Prop," according to multiple reports. Luckily, it appeared Gonzalez knew the fine was coming.
"lol! I got u," Gonzalez wrote on X, while also complimenting the dunk.
Kelce hasn’t had the typical season Chiefs fans are used to seeing. He started out of the gate incredibly slow, failing to pick up the first touchdown catch of the season until the Las Vegas Raiders game on Oct. 27.

He has 97 catches for 823 yards and three touchdowns this season. His receiving yards total is the lowest it's been since the 2014 season – the second year he was in the league. His touchdown total is the lowest of his career. He had four touchdown catches in 2016.
Kelce was still voted to the Pro Bowl thanks to fan support. It’s the 10th selection of his career.
Kansas City will wrap up the regular season against the Denver Broncos on Sunday. The team has a bye in the first round of the playoffs.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson appeared to answer the one question pro wrestling fans have asked in the weeks leading up to WWE’s "Monday Night Raw" debut on Netflix.
Johnson wrote in the caption of an Instagram post on Sunday that he will be at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, as WWE embarks on a new chapter in its history.

"Until then, I’ll come back home to @wwe tomorrow night as we make history on @netflix and begin a new and exciting era," he wrote.
"Tomorrow night is dedicated to my grandfather, the High Chief Peter Maivia, my grandmother, Lia Maivia and my dad, Rocky ‘Soulman’ Johnson and my ancestors who have ALL paved the way."
Johnson has been seen sparingly on WWE programming since he interfered in WrestleMania 41 Night’s 2 main event between Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns. Rhodes finally captured the Undisputed WWE Championship that night, ending Reigns’ historic reign as champion.

Johnson appeared on "Monday Night Raw" the next night to confront Rhodes one last time before he took a hiatus. Johnson then appeared at Bad Blood after Rhodes and Reigns defeated Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu in a tag-team match.
He didn’t say anything but the return was electric. The appearance at the premium live event also sparked ideas about how Johnson could make an impact in the weeks leading up to WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas.
The obvious answer would be a match between him and Reigns but there’s still a lot that has to happen to get there.
Additionally, Monday night’s episode will also mark the return of John Cena and his start of a farewell tour.

C.J. Stroud has the Houston Texans in the playoffs for the second straight season despite a year filled with ups and downs and a bunch of injuries.
Stroud talked to reporters Saturday ahead of the 2024 regular-season finale against the Tennessee Titans and opened up about his goals for 2025 and beyond. While playoffs and accolades are one thing, Stroud talked about honing in on his relationship with God instead.

"Lock it back in with the Lord. Kinda in the lukewarm season – one foot in, one foot out. The Lord has helped me get outta that," he said. "So, that’s really my 2025 goal is to be locked in with the Lord as much as possible.
"You know, fasting and praying, being part of a church here in Houston. That's my 2025 goal, being closer to the Lord."
Stroud has never shied away from talking about his faith. He talked about giving glory to God following the team’s playoff win last year against the Cleveland Browns – an answer that NBC omitted in its social media post.

He told Fox News Digital last year it was great to have a big community of Christian athletes in the NFL.
"I feel like, of course, football is amazing, but one day this sport will be done," he said. "This is our passion, but I think our purposes are bigger than just football, and it’s cool to see people use their platform to show their purpose in the Lord."
"So, I think we have a really good community of a lot of believers in the league and really around the sports world. I think the more we can do with our platform, the better we can make this world and hopefully, really help people if they want the help to find Christ and really understand that God loves you no matter what. That’s really the light I feel like we’re trying to shine."
