The Pittsburgh Steelers—and the rest of the league, barring perhaps the Bengals and Bills—have one game left to play. As we sit here today, nobody in the NFL has recorded more interceptions in 2022 than has safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, who secured his sixth of the year on a game-sealing takeaway with seconds to go in Sunday’s win over the Baltimore Ravens.
That marked a career high for the fifth-year safety and the most by any Steeler since Troy Polamalu had seven in 2010 (and in 2008). But if things continue on this path, he could do something that not even Polamalu ever did—indeed, something no Steeler has done since Mel Blount in 1975.
