All things considered, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense has played well in 2024. They’ve been among the best teams in the league against the run and have contained opposing passing attacks well throughout the year. They’re getting contributions from all angles of the defense. One of the quieter names, this year at least, is FS Minkah Fitzpatrick.
Fitzpatrick is still one of the Steelers’ best players, keeping that status year after year. He’s one of the better-known safeties in the NFL as a whole. This year, though, he’s been quieter than usual. Fitzpatrick’s still making an impact on the field, but if you look at the box score, the argument is being made that he isn’t showing up as much as usual.
