Pittsburgh had just scored their first touchdown, yet Jacksonville was threatening to answer back.

On a good drive by Jacksonville, it looked as though they were going to be able to answer back with their own score. Yet, Pittsburgh would force another turnover near their own endzone this season and it couldn’t have been at a more opportune time.

This play had to do with two people in particular for the Steelers defense. Firstly, Alualu being back and actually healthy was huge for Pittsburgh. He gets his hands up and tips the ball for the Steelers. The Steelers needed a big play to keep the momentum going in their favor.

The second thing is that the Steelers have Minkah Fitzpatrick. If there is a tipped ball, then you know that Minkah is going to make a play. It falls right into his arms and he makes a nice return to set up his offense with good field possession. This is one of the straws that was breaking a camel’s back in this game. Jacksonville started strong, but it looked like the Steelers were set to run away with it in the second half.
