Russell Wilson and the Pittsburgh Steelers (10-7) enter the playoffs on a four-game losing streak, and all eyes are on underdog George Pickens, who struggled mightily in the final weeks of the regular season.

The Steelers’ No. 1 receiver dropped three passes and had just one reception for zero yards on six scores in Saturday’s 19-17 home loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.

Still, Wilson supports Pickens.

“I believe in George,” Wilson said after the game. “I believe in who he is (and) the player he is. He was a star for us all season. You know, he’s obviously going to be a difference maker for us in the playoffs, and I’m excited about that. “I’m excited about that and what he can do – what we can do together. I don’t forget what George means.

“If anyone believes in him, I definitely believe it.”

In his last four games, Pickens had just 11 total receptions; He missed three games in December due to a hamstring injury. The Steelers have averaged just 14.3 points per game during their four-game losing streak. After a season in which he totaled 63 receptions for 1,140 yards and five touchdowns, a league-high 18.1 yards per reception, Pickens totaled 59 receptions for 900 yards and three in 14 regular-season games this year touchdowns.

Wilson, who didn’t start until Week 7 due to a calf injury, has totaled 2,482 passing yards, 16 passing touchdowns, five interceptions and a 95.6 passer rating while completing 63.7% of his passes in 11 regular-season games. He also rushed for 155 yards and two touchdowns.

Overall, Pittsburgh’s offense averaged 192.0 passing yards (28th in the NFL), 127.4 rushing yards (10th), 319.4 total yards (20th), and 22.4 points (14th) in the regular season . in the NFL).

The Steelers enter Sunday’s No. 2 seed in the AFC wild card, but could potentially be the No. 1 seed if the Los Angeles Chargers lose to the Las Vegas Raiders. In this case, they will face the No. 4 seed Houston Texans in the wildcard round. If Los Angeles wins, Pittsburgh would play the No. 3 seed Baltimore Ravens next week.
