Coming out of the Week 13 loss to the Arizona Cardinals at home, 24-10, Pittsburgh Steelers’ veteran safety and special teams captain Miles Killebrew was under fire for three special teams penalties that helped the Cardinals pick up an improbable win.
Unfortunately after that game, Killebrew received some death threats from disgruntled fans, which should never, ever happen. It’s just a game; it’s not life or death.
To his credit though, the special teams captain bounced back in a big way on Thursday Night Football in Week 14 against the New England Patriots and blocked a punt, giving the Steelers a short field that led to a touchdown.
