Just when the defense of the Pittsburgh Steelers needed to make a play in a one-score game, rookie linebacker Payton Wilson came up with a jaw-dropping play downfield in coverage.
Wilson, covering running back Justice Hill downfield on a wheel route out of the backfield, somehow found a way to take the football away in the air from Hill for the game-changing interception, which came just a few plays after Russell Wilson threw an ill-advised interception in the end zone.
Take a look at Wilson’s play. Absurd play from the rookie.
PAYTON WILSON RIPS IT AWAY.
