With his critical late play on Sunday, Pittsburgh Steelers S Minkah Fitzpatrick reminded us that football is a game of inches. Because that’s how close the Washington Commanders came to picking up a pivotal fourth-down conversion, handing them just their third loss of the season. And after the game, he talked to Albert Breer about how so much of that play came before the snap.
He told Breer that the Steelers anticipated the Commanders looking for TE Zach Ertz given the down and distance. Commanders QB Jayden Daniels admitted he couldn’t see the sticks when he threw.
