Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Geroge Pickens was fined $20,462 for his two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties against the Cincinnati Bengals. On Friday, Pickens said he wasn’t sure what he needed to do to keep those plays from being called penalties because he did what other wide receivers did.

“I’m out here making plays. I celebrate the same way as every other receiver. So I’m not sure,” Pickens said.

On the first play, Pickens dropped the ball right to Bengals linebacker Germaine Pratt after the play. That was called a foul, and Pickens seemed livid when it was called that way.

On the second play of the game, Pickens made a big catch down the sideline, walked to the middle of the field and fired an imaginary weapon toward the crowd. The NFL has made it a policy to crack down on in-game “violent gestures,” including celebrations such as those involving the use of a weapon.

Still, Pickens only received three penalties this season. He is involved in what appeared to be a tense argument with Browns cornerback Greg Newsome before Sunday’s game. It is questionable whether Pickens will be able to play due to a hamstring injury.
