The game was a story of two halves, and here are the Pittsburgh Steelers winners and losers from their upsetting loss to the Vikings.
It was a frustrating game early on, but the Steelers found a way to claw back into the contest down the stretch. It wasn’t meant to be though, as the team couldn’t overcome their early deficit to win.
It all came down to the final play, and unfortunately, the team couldn’t come away with the potential game-tying score. Here are the Steelers winners and losers from their Week 14 loss to the Minnesota Vikings:
Steelers loser: Cameron Sutton
You have to feel bad for Cameron Sutton early in this game. While he has been a fine cover corner this season, he was tasked with regularly covering Justin Jefferson on his own. The results weren’t pretty, and Sutton was picked on early in the game. While a lot of that can be blamed on play calling, he did himself little favors as the game went on.
Sutton never seemed to get his footing after the rough start. It got uglier as Sutton eventually gave up a long touchdown pass to K.J. Osborn that dealt a blow to the potential comeback. He never really looked set this week in a game where he was needed. The matchup was never going to be easy, but Sutton far and away had a tough game and will need to rebound next week.
