FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Safety Jabrill Peppers made back-to-back open-field tackles in the New England Patriots’ 17-14 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. The team might be relying on him to make even more this Sunday against the visiting Baltimore Ravens (1 p.m. ET, Fox).
Peppers was thrust into extended action last week when safety Kyle Dugger was sidelined with a knee injury late in the second quarter and immediately made his presence felt at a key point in the game with decisive takedowns.
