It’s pretty rare when a defensive lineman — particularly a nose tackle — records an interception. Fortunately for the Pittsburgh Steelers, that’s exactly what second-year nose tackle Keeanu Benton did in the first half against the Cleveland Browns Sunday at Acrisure Stadium.
On a screen pass from Browns’ QB Jameis Winston, Benton jumped the intended pass for running back Nick Chubb and made a great play on the football, picking off the pass and returning it 11 yards. It set the Steelers up deep in Cleveland territory, ultimately leading to the go-ahead touchdown for the Black and Gold.
