Minkah Fitzpatrick continues sensational season with 96-yard pick six
Former Alabama DB Minkah Fitzpatrick continues to shine following his trade from the Miami Dolphins to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Fitzpatrick picked off a pass from Brian Hoyer of the Indianapolis Colts and returned it 96 yards for a touchdown with 2:21 left in the first half to tie the game at 10 on Sunday. That’s the second-longest interception return in Steelers history. The Colts took a 16-13 lead to halftime.
Fitzpatrick now has four interceptions and a fumble recovery in seven games for Steelers. Combined with the two interceptions last week on Monday night against the Miami Dolphins, he has three picks in six days. Overall, Fitzpatrick in 7-plus games with the Steelers: 36 tackles, four interceptions (T-2nd most in NFL), five pass breakups, two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and one TD.
Minkah Fitzpatrick with a 96-yard pick-6. Maybe the #Steelers didn’t overpay when they sent a 1st round pick to the #Dolphins for him.
He also had 2 picks last week.pic.twitter.com/taT7BHFl5P
