The New England Patriots cut Jabrill Peppers at the end of August. Now with the Steelers, he admits he is eager to face his former team. For the third week in a row, the Steelers have a “revenge game” of sorts, first with Aaron Rodgers and the Jets, then DK Metcalf and the Seahawks. Peppers doesn’t have nearly the same sort of role in Pittsburgh, but all the same, he has something to prove.
“I’m the type of guy that this does mean a little more for me”, Peppers told Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette about playing the Patriots.
