Notre Dame-educated Stephon Tuitt is a smart fellow with a firm understanding of NFL economics. The Steelers lined up more than $110 million of defensive ends Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens — Tuitt and Cam Heyward — and will do so again this weekend against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Tuitt knows what that means.
“They’re paying us good money to do it so we might as well do it.”
So Tuitt and Heyward did in the 26-9 win against the Ravens.
We had seen what Tuitt could do most recently in the opening game at Cleveland, if only for two plays.
