Minkah Fitzpatrick

The other playmaker on the defensive side of the ball is safety Minkah Fitzpatrick. The Bills know Fitzpatrick well as he started his career with the Miami Dolphins, playing a season and two games there before being traded to the Steelers last year.

The ball-hawking safety has fit right into this defense and has nine total interceptions over the past 26 games with the Steelers. The defense this season has excelled in forcing quarterbacks to make mistakes as they have a league-leading 16 interceptions as a team and Fitzpatrick is a big part of that.

It will be important for Josh Allen to be smart with the ball and not throw it into danger because the Steelers, and especially Fitzpatrick, can make game-changing plays.
