Dotson responds to death threats from fans: 'That's just wild'

Many Steelers fans were ecstatic with the team's upset win over Tom Brady and the Buccaneers. But that wasn't enough for some.

Kevin Dotson received death threats from fans on Twitter for committing three penalties during the 20-18 win, including a holding call on a play that erased a 27-yard completion to Diontae Johnson. The player Dotson held was Devin White, who still managed to break through and hit Kenny Pickett, who suffered a concussion on the play.

The injury to the prized rookie quarterback garnered some heat toward Dotson.
