The Pittsburgh Steelers had been using a rotational system at the right outside cornerback position over the course of their past four games after they decided that third-year starter Artie Burns was not in a position to assume a full-time role to his combined mental and physical struggles.
That seemed to change today, only not in the way Burns would have preferred it, as it was Coty Sensabaugh who not only started the game but logged all of the defensive snaps—at least until he suffered a foot injury. And then it was second-year cornerback Cameron Sutton who came into the game instead.
