3 best moments from the Pittsburgh Steelers Week 6 blowout vs the Browns

After a lot of talk about where Minkah Fitzpatrick has been he answered it really quickly in Week 6.

While the Pittsburgh Steelers have been running a lot of cover 1 on defense, no one seemed to have told Baker Mayfield that. They disguised the coverage showing a cover 2. Then Fitzpatrick drops down to cover the middle as Edmunds goes deep. Mayfield did not recognize this and threw a quick slant towards the middle of the field into the waiting arms of #39.

This was a misread by Baker. I will give credit to Butler disguising the Cover 1 by showing both safeties up top. That slant would have been the right option against a cover 2. Yet, Minkah dropped down and made a great play. Minkah took off with the ball and ran straight to the house. It was a great start defensively and it showed that when Minkah gets the chance to make a play he will.

After a decent opening drive, giving Pittsburgh a 3 point lead, to score defensively on the Browns first offensive possession is a huge boost to start the game. To be up by 2 possessions that quickly is huge in a game with obvious playoff implications.
