Earlier today, I mentioned that Pittsburgh Steelers 10th-year cornerback William Gay actually managed to receive an honorable mention in the “Defensive Back” category of Pro Football Focus’ meaningless All-Pro list. But it did get me thinking that we really have not talked much at all about Gay over the course of this entire season, so I thought it would probably be fitting to take a look at his play in the season finale.
Because I didn’t really pay attention too closely or too consistently to Gay over the course of the season in comparison to other players—I don’t believe I did even one film session on him this year, at least not during the regular season—it’s hard for me to speak too decisively, but while he made a number of his usual heady plays, it did seem that he may have regressed a bit.
