Will Minkah Fitzpatrick have an interception this game?

Minkah Fitzpatrick has been a ballhawk in centerfield this year. According to Pro Football Reference, Fitzpatrick has four interceptions in six games with the Steelers. That is a great start to his Steelers career.

This is especially good because, in 2018, the Steelers had trouble coming up with interceptions. They only had seven interceptions total according to Steelers.com. This is an area they have improved on with the acquisition of Minkah Fitzpatrick.

Another storyline to watch is consecutive games with an interception for Minkah Fitzpatrick. Fitzpatrick has an interception in the past two games and one on Sunday would be three games in a row with an interception.

I wrote about how I thought this was a good trade. I don’t think the Steelers were going to find a defensive player that was as good or fit their system as well as Minkah Fitzpatrick. This trade takes care of the Steelers at the free safety position for the next 3-4 years and could be extended.
