It’s not often the Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense picks off four passes. In fact, it was just the third time they’ve done it in a game since 1998. So when it occurs you know we have to write about it. Four different defenders came away with the football yesterday: S Minkah Fitzpatrick, OLB T.J. Watt, CB Cam Sutton, and CB Ahkello Witherspoon.
We don’t yet have All-22 but I wanted to offer a brief breakdown and overview of how they made each four of those plays happen. Let’s dive into the tape.
First one. The biggest one. Minkah Fitzpatrick’s pick-six to get the party started.
