Winners and losers from the Pittsburgh Steelers 23-20 OT win against the Cincinnati Bengals in the Week One opener. What a ridiculous game.
WINNERS
Minkah Fitzpatrick: This game was certainly highlighted by the Steelers’ defensive stars. Fitzpatrick got the party started two plays into the year with a pick-six of Joe Burrow, undercutting a deep curl to house it. Fitzpatrick’s downfield tackle against Joe Mixon on his 4th down, 31-yard run before the half saved the Steelers four points, holding the Bengals to a field goal.
Some thought Fitzpatrick had a down 2021 thanks to just two interceptions.
