Minkah Fitzpatrick Becomes First Steeler To Lead NFL In Interceptions Since Mel Blount In 1975

Now that the 2022 regular season is over, we can make it official. The Pittsburgh Steelers not only led the league as a team in interceptions but had the individual league leader in interceptions. Their two picks in the final gave them 20 on the season, tying them with the San Francisco 49ers, who had three.

Pro Bowl safety Minkah Fitzpatrick entered the day with six interceptions on the year, a career high and tied for the most in the NFL. That’s how he exited the day as well. It’s something no Steeler has done in quite a long time.
