CB Patrick Peterson came to the Pittsburgh Steelers with lofty expectations for himself, saying back in July that he could set a new career-high in interceptions at the age of 33. He even went so far as to indicate he wanted to hit double digits, having never even topped seven before.
Well, right now he is on pace to give up double-digit touchdowns instead, but he did secure his first interception of the season on Sunday night against the Las Vegas Raiders. It was a bad throw under duress by QB Jimmy Garoppolo and something of a gift, admittedly, coming in the middle of the third quarter, but it was also a significant want.
