Amazon Prime Video ‘Thursday Night Football’ analyst Richard Sherman destroyed George Pickens in a scathing rant after a terrible outing from the Dallas Cowboys star wide receiver in their loss to the Detroit Lions.

The Cowboys were in desperate need of a win over the slumping Lions at Ford Field. When CeeDee Lamb left the game in the third quarter with a concussion, it opened the door for George Pickens to play hero.

However, Pickens was unable to come through when Dallas needed it most. He finished the day with only five catches for 37 yards, but the quiet stat line wasn’t even the main storyline here.

Instead, it was the confusing number of plays where George Pickens appeared to give up on a route, including this instant:

Cameras also caught quarterback Dak Prescott seemingly yelling at Pickens after barely putting in an effort on this route:

Richard Sherman accused Sherman of being “uninterested” and “disengaged” on the postgame show, per Chris Amaya of The Dallas Morning News:

George Pickens throughout the game, especially late in the game, just looked uninterested. Uninterested in playing football. That’s what you can’t have. If you’re going to be a superstar, if you want to be the best receiver in the National Football League, you can’t ever be disengaged. It doesn’t matter if the game’s going your way or not going your way.

“You can’t be the guy and half-a*s it. It’s unacceptable and if you’re the Dallas Cowboys and you’re looking at it, and you’re looking to pay him big-time receiver money — $40 million — you gotta look at this tape and say, ‘Hey, is this a guy we can trust paying $40 million to show up regardless of circumstance? I don’t know.”

Dallas will try to keep its slim playoff hopes alive when it hosts the Minnesota Vikings on ‘Sunday Night Football’ in Week 15.
