Minkah Fitzpatrick On Key To Defending Derrick Henry: Stop Him ‘Before He Gets Into The Secondary’

The Pittsburgh Steelers are not unfamiliar with facing quality running backs. After all, while the dodged Nick Chubb last week, they still had to contend with a Pro Bowl runner in Kareem Hunt facing the Cleveland Browns last week, and they were able to handle him. Outside of one gaffe allowed to Miles Sanders, the run defense has been as good as anybody in the league so far this year.

Next up, however, is Derrick Henry’s turn to say something about that. Both the reigning rushing champion and the league’s current leading rusher, Henry has rushed for more than 2000 yards over the span of his past 16 games, including postseason play, and is coming off of a 200-yard game, scoring twice in each of the past three contests.
