It hasn’t been the best start to his tenure as a Pittsburgh Steeler for veteran cornerback Patrick Peterson.
In Week One, Peterson allowed two touchdowns to San Francisco wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk. In Week Two, Peterson gave up a big third-down catch to Cleveland wide receiver Amari Cooper and later missed a tackle on Cleveland tight end David Njoku on a 1st and 20, resulting in Njoku moving the chains.
Despite the struggles, Peterson remains inside the top 32 cornerback rankings in the NFL entering Week 3 from Pro Football Focus, sitting just outside of the top 20 overall.
