PITTSBURGH -- For the first time in his career, four-time Pro Bowl safety Minkah Fitzpatrick finished a season of football without recording a single interception.
Prior to 2023, that had never happened. Not in five NFL seasons, not at Alabama, not at St. Peter's Prep in New Jersey.
Even more frustrating for the three-time All-Pro selection, his statistical goose-egg season, albeit one shortened by injuries, came after recording a career-high six interceptions in 2022 -- including a pick-6 on quarterback Joe Burrow's first pass attempt of the season.
With a restocked secondary and new season on the horizon, Fitzpatrick has one goal for 2024.
