Steelers second-year ILB Payton Wilson had his best game of the season last week, highlighted by a touchdown-saving, chasedown tackle. Although they eventually allowed a touchdown on fourth down, it helped them win the game. The tackle forced the Vikings to run four more plays, burning precious time at the end of the game. But that’s just what Wilson does, ILB coach Scott McCurley said.

‘It was an awesome thing for him. But kind of a thing you come to expect when you watch him practice and how he runs every day,” he said of Wilson via the Steelers’ website.
