Damontae Kazee ‘Plays The Game Like He’s Never Had A Bad Day,’ Minkah Fitzpatrick Says

With Pittsburgh Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick missing last Sunday’s 20-10 win over the New Orleans Saints due to an appendectomy the day before, safety Damontae Kazee stepped up to replace him as the starter in what was Kazee’s first appearance of the season after suffering a broken forearm in the preseason. Kazee had a key fourth-quarter interception that sparked a scoring drive to put the Steelers ahead by two scores, and Fitzpatrick talked to the media today about his fellow safety.

“Kazee’s a great player,” Fitzpatrick said. “I’m excited to see what it looks like with both of us, all three of us out there making plays.
