During and after the final play of the Week 12 game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns, we had no shortage of fireworks in the snow between wide receiver George Pickens and cornerback Greg Newsome.

On the final play of the game that saw quarterback Russell Wilson throw up a Hail Mary in the hopes of scoring a game-winning touchdown in the final seconds of the Steelers’ loss, both Pickens and Newsome got tangled up.

Not only did the tussle take Pickens out of the play entirely, it also led to a fight behind the end zone, with both players having to be separated.

Here’s a look at how the fight started. You’ll see Pickens and Newsome running out of the back of the end zone at the top of your screen and Pickens appeared to have a hold of Newsome’s helmet.

And here’s a look at the aftermath behind the end zone.

Pickens fired a shot at the Browns after the game and gave them zero credit for the win and instead blamed the Steelers’ loss on the weather conditions.

“The conditions played a huge, huge part in today’s game,” Pickens said, per Alan Saunders of Steelers Now. “I don’t really think the Cleveland Browns are a good team at all. I think the conditions kinda saved them today.”

Newsome took to social media after his postgame scuffle with Pickens and called the Steelers wide receiver a “fake tough guy.”

Safe to say, there’s no love lost between Pickens and Newsome. That should set up for an interesting rematch in a few weeks when these two teams meet again in Week 14.
