Down a number of safeties entering Week 9’s matchup against the NFL’s best offense in the Indianapolis Colts, the Pittsburgh Steelers played the only card they really had available at the position: Jalen Ramsey.
Head coach Mike Tomlin announced the move Sunday morning in his sit-down with Steelers.com’s Bob Labriola, citing the need to move Ramsey to safety and making him the hub of communication in the secondary for the matchup with the Colts.
That type of move on short notice could have gone disastrous, especially against an explosive team like the Colts. But Ramsey helped keep things in check on the backend, which allowed the Steelers defense to really tee off on Colts QB Daniel Jones, leading to six turnovers forced on the day.
