After Minkah Fitzpatrick exited the Pittsburgh Steelers win over the Cleveland Browns in the third quarter on Monday Night Football, it was up to Elijah Riley, Keanu Neal and Damontae Kazee to step up and hold down the safety spots. The trio did well, with Riley notching a key third-down sack on Deshaun Watson on what ended up being Cleveland’s final drive. Defensive coordinator Teryl Austin praised the trio in his press conference on Thursday.
“They did. Those guys did a great job. I think our guys do a great job in terms of staying prepared, staying ready, being the next man up so we don’t miss a beat.
