Why the return of DeShon Elliott means so much to Pittsburgh's defense
"I should've picked it, first off,"
"I didn't know I was that close to the ball. I should've picked it."
"I've been injured a lot in my career, so having those trials and tribulations, man, all those ups and downs -- really when my knee got hurt, I thought I was out for the season. So being able to come back and play with my guys, knowing that my energy is contagious, knowing that my aggressions are contagious. ... Cameron [Heyward], T.J. [Watt], PQ [ Patrick Queen], I know we going to hunt, so hey, I'm excited, more turnovers to go this year."
DeShon Elliott returned from an MCL sprain and helped secure the Pittsburgh Steelers' 24-21 victory at Dublin's Croke Park with a fourth-down pass breakup. Elliott logged six tackles, a sack-fumble, two quarterback hits and a tackle for loss in his first game action since the injury and nearly added an interception on Carson Wentz's last-ditch heave to Jordan Addison. Elliott expressed frustration at missing the pick but celebrated returning to play and said his energy and aggressiveness are contagious. The Steelers' defense followed a five-takeaway performance against New England with two more takeaways against Minnesota.
