Mike Hilton had a key interception

If there was a play that changed the outcome of the game, it was the interception by Mike Hilton. With 13 minutes left in the fourth quarter, Mike Hilton had an interception off of DeShaun Watson.

That play gave the Steelers the ball after the Texans were driving into Steelers territory. This saved the Steelers from giving up a touchdown on the drive and helped the Black & Gold to victory.

DeShaun Watson torched the Steelers secondary on the day, but it was made okay by that interception. According to ESPN, Watson had 264 yards passing on the day and completed 19 of 27 passes.

Mike Hilton has become an average Nickelback but what I like about him is the other things he does. I like how he goes for the interception and how he hustles on the blitz. Those are the things that give teams an advantage in a close game.
