In his second NFL game, Pittsburgh Steelers CB Cory Trice Jr. recorded his first interception. It couldn’t have come at a better time, two plays after a 49-yard Denver Broncos gain that put them in scoring range for the first time all game. Trice made sure they’d come away empty-handed.
So it’s definitely worth breaking this play down. How did Trice make his first big-time NFL play? With great zone eyes, feel for the route, and finish.
Pittsburgh is in Cover 3. A basic coverage shell with three deep players responsible for one-third of the field with four underneath zone players.
