In his first seven games with the Steelers in 2019, Minkah Fitzpatrick recorded five interceptions, one fumble recovery and a forced fumble.
Then, over the final seven games, he failed to record a single interception and had just one fumble recovery. It's kind of hard to intercept passes or make impactful plays when the opposing team has decided they're not going to allow a player to impact the game.
That was the case for Fitzpatrick, who also had just one pass defensed in the final seven games after having eight in his first seven games following the trade that brought him to the Steelers via a trade with the Dolphins.
