Perhaps it is true that Minkah Fitzpatrick has the Pittsburgh Steelers playing their best defense. One can argue that applies to games, but it also comes in their explanations for why he isn’t making plays. Despite his zero takeaways, they insist that he is indispensable to their success.
And not wrongly, I might add. After all, Minkah Fitzpatrick had plenty of great games without a takeaway when he recorded six interceptions in 2022. There is a lot of good football outside of turnovers. And for teammates like Donte Jackson, they see everything that Fitzpatrick puts in.
