From the article

For the second straight week, George Pickens was largely an afterthought. Ten targets over the last two weeks simply isn't enough for a player with his skill set. Pickens finished with two catches for 48 yards, including a 37-yard reception, and appeared to have a 59-yard touchdown wiped off the board by a holding penalty. Even after proving he could challenge Arizona vertically, Dallas never made a concerted effort to get him more involved. There are stretches where Pickens completely disappears for an entire half. Particularly late in regulation and into overtime, Pickens should have been a focal point.

Pickens underutilized with just 10 targets over two weeks despite elite skill set and explosive plays.

Pickens was largely an afterthought for the second straight week, receiving only 10 targets over two games despite his skill set. He finished with two catches for 48 yards, including a 37-yard reception, and appeared to have a 59-yard touchdown wiped off by a holding penalty. The source criticizes Dallas for not making a concerted effort to get him more involved, noting there are stretches where Pickens completely disappears for entire halves and that he should have been a focal point late in regulation and overtime given his explosive playmaking ability.
