Game recognizes game, and for Pittsburgh Steelers star fifth-year safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, that’s the case as on Wednesday Fitzpatrick was named the inaugural winner of the 33rd Team’s Ed Reed – Dominating Player of the Month Award, presented by the legendary safety himself whose name adorns the award.
In the month of September, Fitzpatrick was a menace for opposing offenses, recording 32 tackles, three interceptions, four passes defensed, a pick-6 and a blocked extra point that eventually helped the Steelers win in overtime on the road in Week 1 against the Cincinnati Bengals, earning the AFC’s Defensive Player of the Week award.
