Minkah Fitzpatrick has had a huge game in the 2022 season opener for Pittsburgh.
The former 1st-round draft pick from Alabama has an interception, which he returned 31 yards for a touchdown, to his credit.
He also blocked what would have been a game-winning PAT attempt with a second to play in the game to send the Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals into overtime tied at 20-20.

The 25-year-old safety was originally drafted by Miami before being traded to the Steelers in 2019.
In addition to his pick-6 and PAT block, Fitzpatrick has also recorded a team-high 14 tackles in the game.
Pittsburgh and Cincinnati remained tied at 20 with less than 4 minutes remaining in overtime
