A new camera angle shows Dallas Cowboys star wide receiver George Pickens getting tackled in the most painful body part imaginable late in Sunday’s thrilling comeback win over the Philadelphia Eagles.
With the game tied 21 apiece and only 45 seconds remaining on the clock, Dak Prescott found George Pickens for a 24-yard gain down to the Eagles’ 21. That catch allowed Dallas to bleed the clock and set up kicker Brandon Aubrey’s game-winning 42-yard field goal:
AUBREY FOR THE WIN! 🤯

And let’s just say Pickens really “took one for the team” on that pivotal catch. As you can see in this new close-up camera angle, Pickens was tackled by his “manhood”, which would explain why he needed a breather on the sidelines before Aubrey’s kick:
Watch as Pickens tells Milton what happens and Milton flinches in reaction and then the slow mo video they replayed. That had to HURT. https://t.co/MJa9FyKBL5 pic.twitter.com/rTNH85OHSq

Talk about taking, “no pain, no gain” to another level.
Pickens and teammate CeeDee Lamb were benched on the opening drive for the Cowboys’ Week 11 road win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Contrary to rumors that Lamb was spotted vomiting at a Vegas casino early that morning, executive vice president Stephen Jones said it’s because they missed the team bus for that game, via ESPN
They clearly got the message from Brian Schottenheimer, though. Dallas has climbed back in the playoff race with consecutive wins. Up next, a Thanksgiving showdown with the Kansas City Chiefs.
George Pickens & Dallas Cowboys Have Been A Perfect Fit
The Cowboys lacked a true game-changing No. 2 wideout to help CeeDee Lamb after trading Amari Cooper to the Cleveland Browns in 2022. Well, they finally have their guy in Pickens, who was acquired in an offseason blockbuster trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Pickens has already set career highs in receptions (67) and receiving touchdowns (eight). The veteran wideout needs just 87 yards over the final six games to set a new career high, which won’t be a problem.
Jerry Jones has an easy decision to sign Pickens long-term in the offseason, because the Dak Prescott-led offense really hasn’t looked this efficient before.
