    Steelers WR George Pickens sabotages Mike Tomlin's plan ahead of Sunday Night Football

    It's a big game for the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday as they take on the New York Jets, who just traded for Davante Adams to turn around a 2-4 season.

    For the Steelers, big changes are expected too, as Russell Wilson is expected to start at quarterback over Justin Fields despite a 4-2 start to the season. The decision to start Wilson has been reportedly in the works and head coach Mike Tomlin has alluded to it as well but he's refused to tell the media about it.

    In fact, on Friday, Tomlin told reporters that the decision would be kept in house. The only problem is, wide receiver George Pickens had other plans, as he sabotaged his coach's plan to keep things secret.

    "Yeah, getting on the same page after practice throwing, more than usual," Pickens told reporters. "Because you know, it's his first start."

    Listen, there's a high chance Pickens wasn't even aware that Tomlin was keeping things a secret, so it's not likely that he even did anything wrong. If anything, Pickens spilling the beans simply reinforces how futile Tomlin's attempt at anything resembling "secrecy."

    Regardless of whether the decision is the correct one or not, it's tough to hide who's starting at quarterback in today's NFL. For now, all Steelers fans can do is hope Wilson performs well against one of the best pass defenses in the entire league.

    Simply this....it is no Secret Mike Tomlin is starting Wilson, the problem is straight up the offense does not agree. However, the head coach is going to play Wilson...even though Fields numbers as of these last 6 games are better than Superbowl Champ QB Mahomes!!!!
