PITTSBURGH -- Mike Tomlin wrote Bud Dupree’s name on the big board at the Pittsburgh Steelers' facility.
He called him out and challenged him all week ahead of the Steelers’ 26-24 win against the Indianapolis Colts.
It didn’t matter how good the fifth-year linebacker had been against the run all season. The Indianapolis Colts were going to run it to the left all afternoon. He had to be ready.
When it really counted, he was.
Matched up with a tight end on the edge as the Colts called a run play on third-and-1 with a minute left, Dupree blew by his man and made a beeline for running back Marlon Mack.
