Burnett’s Absence Another Opportunity For Jordan Dangerfield

The Pittsburgh Steelers could have as many as two of their top seven defensive backs down for tonight’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers, and that could be good news for Jordan Dangerfield, the fringe safety who has been hanging around seemingly for decades at this point.

The honorary veteran was awarded a sub-package role earlier this season in which the defense utilizes him as a heavier defender, replacing cornerback Coty Sensabaugh in obvious run sets that feature only one wide receiver, a look that they debuted two games ago against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
