The skepticism I had after the trade that sent out FS Minkah Fitzpatrick to acquire CB Jalen Ramsey is fading. Even in a disappointing defensive performance by the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday in a 34-32 win over the New York Jets, Ramsey had an impactful game. Joining the likes of QB Aaron Rodgers, WR DK Metcalf, and RB Kenneth Gainwell, Ramsey paid immediate returns on his offseason addition.
After Chris Boswell’s record-setting 60-yard field goal, Pittsburgh needed one more stop to seal the win. Ramsey provided it nearly on his own. He broke up two Justin Fields passes on a day in which only six of Fields’ throws fell incomplete.
