Kovacevic: Minkah's missing in action ... except for missing tackles

The problem with Minkah Fitzpatrick is that, when he's not being great, he's barely registering above a zero. Which is to say, through six full games of this NFL season, he's got:

• Zero interceptions
• Zero passes defensed
• Zero sacks
• Zero fumble recoveries
• One forced fumble

Uh-huh. And that last one constitutes the barely in the equation: Minkah popped the ball loose from DK Metcalf on the Seahawks' final offensive snap of regulation Sunday before the Steelers proceeded to win, 23-20 in overtime, Sunday night at Heinz Field.
