Call this one the Mike Tomlin game.
Some pundits will call Saturday’s Pittsburgh Steelers victory over the Cincinnati Bengals the George Pickens game because the young wide receiver had a career afternoon. Other pundits will anoint this the Mason Rudolph game because the backup quarterback came off the bench and helped the Steelers end a three-game losing skid.
Yeah, um, pundits are often wrong. And dumb.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens caught four passes for 195 yards and two touchdowns in Pittsburgh’s 34–11 rout of the visiting Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday night.
For the Steelers, it was a much-needed victory to keep their playoff hopes alive amid recent mediocre play. The spotlight was on Pickens for all the right reasons, but NFL fans couldn’t help but notice that the young wide receiver was burning the rival Bengals while sporting two mouthguards.
To get in the Christmas spirit, Pickens rocked one green mouth guard and one red mouthguard.

Stefon Diggs appears to be trying anything he can to get the Bills into the postseason.
The Buffalo Bills find themselves in an unusual position during the Josh Allen era: still clawing for a playoff spot in Week 16. So it’s about time they start breaking out the big guns to see if they can’t get things firing on all cylinders.
Beating Kansas City and clobbering the Dallas Cowboys was cool and all, but do you know what the team’s postseason push was missing?

Pittman was knocked out on the field last week on a hit that got Steelers cornerback Damontae Kazee suspended for the rest of the season.

It’s one of those images that only college football can create.
As time ticked down in the Georgia State Panthers’ 45–22 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl win over the Utah State Aggies, Panthers coach Shawn Elliott was surveying his handiwork, getting ready to celebrate his fifth winning season at the school.
As he did so, linebacker Jordan Veneziale and quarterback Darren Grainger crept up behind him—and promptly dumped a bucket of french fries over his head.

Pittsburgh wide receiver George Pickens also bounced back in a huge way, finishing with a career night against the Bengals.

Buffalo faces another high-stakes game as it looks to stay alive for the postseason. Pittsburgh helped the cause by shocking Cincinnati on Saturday, but the Bills can’t afford to stumble.

In arguably the game of the season to date, the Florida Atlantic Owls silenced any potential doubt that had remained about whether the Owls’ Final Four last March had been a fluke.
FAU’s thrilling 96–95 double overtime win in Las Vegas over the No. 4 Arizona Wildcats was yet another feather in the cap for the work coach Dusty May has done in Boca Raton.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens had the last laugh. 
Pickens heard criticism from seemingly every corner this week leading up to the Steelers’ Week 16 game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday night. 
The young Pittsburgh wideout raised eyebrows for his decision to not block a defender during a running play in the red zone in the Week 15 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. Pickens made it worse when he explained to the media that he didn’t block on the play to avoid injury.

Mason Rudolph outplayed Jake Browning, George PIckens answered the call and the AFC wild-card race shifted as a result of Saturday’s shocking blowout in Pittsburgh.
