The Pittsburgh Steelers know they can’t just play well defensively. They have to play at a top level. Keep offenses off the scoreboard and set up their own guys for points. That was Bud Dupree’s mentality on his game-clinching sack/fumble of Bengals’ QB Ryan Finley.
“Trying to make big, splash plays for our offense,” he told reporters via the team site after the game. “So we’re going for the ball a lot more. Not just trying to get sacks and be satisfied.”
Dupree’s sack was his 7th of the season, setting a career high.
