Roosevelt Nix Block Of Matt Bosher Punt Wasn’t His First Against Falcons Kicker

When it comes to playing against Roosevelt Nix on the punt return team, there is only one golden rule: you can’t stop him, you can only hope to contain him. The fourth-year Pittsburgh Steelers fullback always seems to be right on the verge of blocking a punt—and he’s had a few in his career already, including the preseason—but he got himself one today that helped the team put the Atlanta Falcons away for their second victory of the year.

The Steelers had a 13-10 halftime lead after quarterback Ben Roethlisberger through an interception in the red zone with just second remaining.
