Jordan Dangerfield had to go all the way back to his days at Royal Palm Beach High School to remember a time when he had two interceptions in the same game. It didn’t happen in four seasons of college football at Hofstra and Towson, and it certainly didn’t happen in his first two NFL seasons.
In fact, the two interceptions Dangerfield recorded against the Atlanta Falcons Sunday afternoon were the first two of his short NFL career, preseason or regular season.
Dangerfield’s performance was the one positive in an otherwise dreary day for Steelers defensive backs. The starting secondary gave up 196 of the 211 passing yards the defense allowed in the first half.
