While Patrick Queen and Russell Wilson drew the headlines of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offseason additions, it was CB Donte Jackson and S DeShon Elliott who made game-changing plays in Sunday’s win over the Atlanta Falcons. Both had interceptions, the first pair of new Steelers to intercept passes in a Week 1 game.
Elliott picked QB Kirk Cousins off on the Falcons’ second drive of the game. Jackson got Cousins in the fourth quarter, returning it 49 yards the other way to set up one of six Chris Boswell’s field goals.
But it wasn’t just those two game-changing plays.
