Dallas was in the RedZone and was one play away from possibly sealing this game.

Minkah Fitzpatrick was being questioned by a lot of people through the early parts of the season. But in recent weeks he has been making huge plays. He was credited with a fumble recovery earlier in the game, but this play he made in the RedZone was the biggest he had made this Sunday.

Had Dallas scored a touchdown right here, the game was probably over. Yet, Minkah Fitzpatrick made a gigantic play. This is the kind of play in the kind of moment that makes you an all-pro. Gilbert threw the ball over the middle of the field and it was too close to one of the best free safeties in football.

Minkah Fitzpatrick saves the day at this moment and gives the Steelers the ball back without surrendering any more points to Dallas at this point in the game. It had been a game in which Dallas had held the lead throughout the majority of it. Yet, at this moment it seemed as though the Steelers were going to finally have a chance to get a lead on offense for the first time since their second offensive drive of the game.
