The Dallas Cowboys went to Detroit for Week 14 with all the momentum of having defeated last season’s Super Bowl contenders in a row. But away from AT&T, their energy felt off. And after Dallas fell 44-30 to the Detroit Lions, star receiver George Pickens had to shoulder most of the blame for the Cowboys. While a majority blamed him, including Richard Sherman’s take that Pickens was “uninterested” in the game, former NFL quarterback Alex Smith offered a fresh take defending the wideout.

“This guy got everybody else open,” Smith said on ESPN’s Sunday NFL Countdown. “We only looked at his targets and catches and numbers. But listen, this guy got everybody open. He’s running post taking two and they’re hitting deep crosses under it.”
