George Pickens had a lot to say on Sunday when the Pittsburgh Steelers took the field against the Dallas Cowboys at Acrisure Stadium.

So much that it couldn’t be constrained by mere words. He had to spell it out for the rest of the world. Pickens wrote “Open [expletive] Always” in white letters across the strip of eye black tape that adorned his face on Sunday night.
