George Pickens is now focused on his present with the Dallas Cowboys following their Week 1 loss of the 2025 NFL season to the Philadelphia Eagles. Dak Prescottâs offensive partner has made it clear what the team is missing in order to take a step forward in quality.
Pickens was targeted by Prescott four times during the game, catching three passes for a total of 30 yards. Although the Dallas team was unable to get past the Eagles in its season opener, the wide receiver showed precision in his game.
Head coach Brian Schottenheimer also added that Pickensâ effort was notable and that he saw no issues with him during the teamâs season-opening loss to the Eagles. However, the playerâs self-criticism has been evident.
Pickensâ analysis
âReally just trying to stay open for them. Iâm not really worried about touches, receptions, all that type of stuff. Iâm just trying to be available for the team. Just trying to focus on the first win,â Pickens said in a press conference, according to NBC Sports.

Pickensâ performance against the Eagles showed alignment with the rest of the receiving group, as no touchdowns have come from that part of the offense. Most of the scoring has instead come from the running backs, such as Javonte Adams.

The Cowboysâ next chance
Dallas has the opportunity to prove that the loss to the Eagles was just a bad start and not the beginning of a downward trend this season. In that context, Pickens and the team will have another chance to secure a win in their upcoming matchup against the New York Giants.
