Steelers' George Pickens channels Marshawn Lynch's viral interview: 'I'm just here so I won't get fined'

The Cleveland Browns beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 24-19 on Thursday night in an upset. Craig Carton, Danny Parkins, Mark Schlereth and Greg Jennings ask if the Steelers are still Super Bowl contenders.

George Pickens was not particularly in a giving mood during his media session inside the Pittsburgh Steelers' locker room the day after Thanksgiving. 

Instead of providing reporters with thoughtful or insightful responses to their questions, the third-year wide receiver channeled former NFL running back Marshawn Lynch's viral moment at Super Bowl XLIX's media day in 2015.

Pickens repeatedly responded, "I’m just here so I won’t get fined," as reporters directed questions at the 23-year-old.

One of the questions directed at Pickens centered around whether the receiver had heard from the NFL about any potential punishment for his involvement in a scuffle at the end of last week's game against the Cleveland Browns, which the Steelers lost 24-19.

"I'm just here so I won't get fined," he repeated.

Cameras missed the beginning of what looked to be a skirmish, but a quick pan appeared to show Pickens and Newsome getting tangled up
