‘Play Of The Game On Defense:’ Cameron Heyward Praises Trenton Thompson’s Interception

With the Cincinnati Bengals leading 7-3 and with the ball to start the second half, they had an opportunity to make it a two-score game, driving down to the Pittsburgh 18. But QB Jake Browning forced a throw to WR Ja’Marr Chase, and S Trenton Thompson, making his second career start for the Steelers, read the route perfectly and intercepted it at the Pittsburgh 15. The Steelers capitalized with a touchdown drive off the turnover and held on to beat Cincinnati 16-10. On his Not Just Football podcast, Steelers DL Cameron Heyward said the interception by Thompson was the play of the game.
