The Pittsburgh Steelers’ secondary consisted of four players who played every snap during the season opener, all four of whom have been with the team for the previous two years. That included fifth-year cornerback Cameron Sutton, who entered the starting lineup on a full-time basis this season following the exits of Steven Nelson and Mike Hilton.
And with the Buffalo Bills on the field for most of the game, playing every down meant being on the field for 85 snaps, a hefty workload (the Steelers offense was kept under 60 plays, in comparison). But cornerback Joe Haden knows there’s no way they could have gotten Sutton off the field.
