Mitch Trubisky said he likes being aggressive.
The New England Patriots like that, too.
With a gunslinger mentality that’s hurt more than it’s helped him throughout his career, Trubisky was intercepted early in the second quarter of Thursday night’s game. Safety Jabrill Peppers stepped in front of an errant Trubisky pass into traffic over the middle, returning it deep inside Steelers’ territory.
Earlier in the game, Trubisky was picked by CB J.C. Jackson, though the play was negated by a holding call on Jackson, aiding in the interception.
Pittsburgh’s offense has done nothing through the first quarter and a drive, putting up just three points on a 56-yard Chris Boswell field goal.
