Safety Troy Polamalu announced this past weekend that he’s retiring from the Pittsburgh Steelers after 12 seasons with the team and while the likely future Hall-of-Famer managed to register 35 career interceptions, including the playoffs, I still remember his first one like it was yesterday.
Allow me to take you back to the Steelers third game of the 2004 season against the Miami Dolphins at Pro Player Stadium. The game was played at night due to Hurricane Jeanne making landfall a few days early and it also featured pouring rain and sloppy field conditions.
