Sometimes, it’s the most unlikely players who end up saving the day in the NFL. For the past two weeks, that man for the Pittsburgh Steelers has been Beanie Bishop Jr. As an undrafted rookie cornerback, Bishop isn’t the first player on the Steelers’ elite defense you’d expect to make several big plays. However, he now has three interceptions over the last two weeks, including sealing the Steelers’ 26-18 win against the New York Giants. It sounds like Bishop knew he was going to make that play as well.
“I told Alex Highsmith that I was gonna end the game that drive,” Bishop said after the Steelers improved to 6-2 via Chris Adamski of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review on Twitter.
