After missing most of the season, DeShon Elliott reintroduced himself to Steelers fans in a big way against the Vikings. Doing a bit of everything, he was credited with a sack, a forced fumble, and an interception in the Steelers’ 24-21 win. That interception meant a lot to him, though, especially given where he thought he might be now.
“Honestly, it felt amazing”, Elliott told Brooke Pryor of ESPN about recording his first interception of the season, via X. “When my knee got hurt, I thought I was out for the season. To be able to come back and play with my guys, knowing that my energy is contagious, knowing that my aggression is contagious.
