The Steelers had to settle for three field goals in the first half of Monday's game against the Giants, and two of those kicks came after apparent touchdown catches by wide receiver George Pickens were taken off the board.

The first game was nullified by a penalty, and the second game was decided in replay after Pickens was found to have entered play with his right foot before being ejected. Pickens planted that foot twice, but NFL rules don't treat that as having both feet on the field or a knee, elbow or other body part on the field.

It's an unusual occurrence and quarterback Russell Wilson said in his postgame press conference that he thought it might be worth looking into in the future.

“It is an interesting rulesaid Wilson. “It's like we obviously thought maybe he dragged his toe, maybe he dropped it. We put the same foot down twice and once it's clear and then another one, No. 2, it's almost like putting a knee down and it counts as a touchdown. And maybe getting two rights should count. But I don't know. George had a great game. I know he obviously wants those two touchdowns. We all want that – it really would have been the deciding factor in the game for us early on. He made two great catches.”

Pickens ended up with four catches for 74 yards and Wilson finally caught a touchdown pass in the second half that helped the Steelers to a win, which made it much easier to consider whether league rules adequately account for Pickens' situation.
