Pittsburgh Steeler star George Pickens' embarrassing night erupted in the stands when he challenged a fan to a fight on the sideline.
During the Steelers' game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday, the wide receiver let his frustration get to him after having trouble on the field.
In the 19-17 loss to their division rivals, the 23-year-old made one catch on six targets with three drops and zero yards.
At one point, Pickens was seen exchanging verbal jabs with a Steelers fan on the sideline. He then gestured for the spectator to come down to the field while his teammates stopped him.
After videos of the exchange circulated, several fans took to the comments to express their frustration with Pickens.
“The Steelers love to draft diva wide receivers,” one user wrote.

'Why do they keep recruiting guys with bad characters?' added a second.
“Andy Reid could take him tomorrow and fix the attitude and turn him into Jerry Rice in one season. I've never been held accountable in Pennsylvania,” a third suggested.
Veteran quarterback Russell Wilson also spoke with Pickens on the sideline, as they desperately needed him to mentally fit into the game. Unfortunately, Pickens' productivity remained absent as the Steelers cruised toward defeat.
The loss dropped the Steelers to 10-7 and second place in the AFC North. Despite losing, Pittsburgh clinched a playoff spot, with sixth place secured.
On the other hand, Cincinnati is 9-8 and still in the playoff race.
The Steelers went 10-3 in their first 13 games before losing their final four games of the regular season.
Pickens concluded his third regular season with 59 receptions for 900 yards and three touchdowns.
