Pittsburgh Steelers safety Trenton Thompson got his first career interception in Pittsburgh’s 16-10 win over the Cincinnati Bengals today, taking away a potential scoring chance for Cincinnati with the Bengals in the red zone. Defensive lineman Cameron Heyward said after the game that Mike Tomlin challenged Thompson before the week and said he would “pound the table” for Thompson if he did.
“Critical pick. Coach T challenged him during the week and said if you get this one, I’ll beat on the table for you. We expect Mike T to beat on the table for him,” Heyward said via 93.
