Pittsburgh Steelers CB Patrick Peterson may have lost a step on the field, but his mental acumen for the game has only sharpened as he’s gotten longer in the tooth.
Peterson came through with a couple of big plays on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers, blocking an extra point attempt as well as tipping a pass in the end zone that S Keanu Neal ran under to secure the interception. Peterson broke down both plays on the latest edition of the All Things Covered podcast with his cousin and former Steelers’ CB Bryant McFadden. McFadden asked Peterson on the interception if Pittsburgh was in man coverage on the play, to which Peterson responded that they were disguising man coverage, and that the disguise must have done well for McFadden not to realize it.
