Hodges Admits He’s Been Forcing Throws, Has To Take What Defense Gives Him

The old adage for quarterbacks. Take what the defense gives you. Make a profit.

Or the phrase that’s popular around the South Side this year. Don’t kill us.

Devlin Hodges has been doing too much of that the last two games, throwing six interceptions as the Steelers lost winnable games against the Buffalo Bills and New York Jets. Speaking to the media yesterday, he knows he must return to basics.

“Maybe sometimes just trying to force the ball a little bit instead of just taking what they are giving me,” he said.
