5 bold predictions for the Steelers in Week 12 vs. Ravens
By Andrew Falce
Edmunds pick party doesn’t stop
Steelers nation had been fairly critical of Terrell Edmunds at the beginning of the season, as the former first-round pick had yet to blossom into more than an average starter. After the first few games this season, his play started turning around. He was making better plays in coverage, was providing great tackling, and was developing well as a more “in the box” safety for this defense.
This development paid off big last week when Edmunds snagged two interceptions. Granted, these were from Jake Luton, but both of his interceptions were relatively high quality. Going into this week, Edmunds will likely be tasked with covering Mark Andrews early and often. Considering he is such a big red zone threat; his coverage will likely be vital in securing a few stops this week.
This, mixed in with Jackson’s interception tendency, has me calling that Edmunds gets his third interception of the season this week. Specifically, the Ravens are up and driving late in the second quarter. Jackson throws a dart to Andrews, but Edmunds pops out and snags the ball, ending the drive without Ravens points. Even if he can’t keep the turnover rate up, seeing Edmunds finally excel has been enjoyable as a fan of the team.
