Keeanu Benton Explains How He Intercepted Jameis Winston

Jameis Winston asked the Lord to deliver him from pick-sixes last week. Technically his prayers were answered, but he still threw two costly interceptions Sunday at Acrisure Stadium, including one to NT Keeanu Benton.

One of the leading candidates for the turning point of the game for the Pittsburgh Steelers was Benton’s interception at the beginning of the second quarter. Up until that point, things weren’t looking so great for the Steelers and the Cleveland Browns were holding onto a 7-3 lead. Benton’s big-man interception turned things around in what was ultimately a 27-14 win.

It isn’t often that defensive linemen are able to intercept passes like that.
