George Pickens Benched in Cowboys' Overtime Loss

George Pickens played 42 snaps in a close 33-30 overtime loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Late in the game, he was benched on a key three-play series, leading NFL analyst Tom Downey to call it mind-numbingly stupid. Fans reacted strongly, with one saying it was a fireable offense. Schottenheimer explained that Pickens needs to contribute to the running game, but the results were lacking.
