Social media users questioned the inconsistency in officiating, as both plays appeared similar but had different outcomes. Despite his recent success with quarterback Russell Wilson, Pickens feels the NFL has a bias against him. He took to social media to voice his concerns, stating, "NFL be having vendettas toward certain players."
