The Pittsburgh Steelers were able to string together a much-needed victory over the Indianapolis Colts this past weekend, but lost in the storyline was Steelers wide receiver George Pickens getting explicit on the sidelines. 

"Throw me the f---ing bal!" Pickens was caught yelling in the direction of his coaching staff. 

However, Pickens has felt the need to address the outburst, saying that he's not out to make the incident bigger than it really is.

"Before we start this, I ain't going to be just saying stuff for you all to just paint a story [and] make a statement bigger than what it is, or make something bigger than what it is," Pickens said to open his four-minute availability Wednesday morning.

"I feel like every player got that in him, it is just what you record." he said. "Don't try to make something it's not, because every player, literally every receiver in the past before -- you got T.O. [Terrell Owens] -- I can name so many names. It's just what you want to make it out to be."

With 37 receptions for 512 yards so far this season, Pickens also has registered two touchdowns. The Steelers take on the Baltimore Ravens this weekend.
