Minkah Fitzpatrick has saved the Pittsburgh Steelers (Patreon)

I don't remember the last time I saw a mid-season trade have such a dramatic effect on one secondary, one defense, or even one team as a whole. To say that the Steelers trading for Minkah Fitzpatrick was "crucial" is an understatement. Without him on the team right now, I wholeheartedly believe that this would be a bottom five team in the NFL - there's just no way around that.
With all of the insanely clutch plays he made, the Steelers would have been SCREWED. Instead, they are in the driver's seat for a Wildcard spot in the playoffs. Well done, Pittsburgh. You just pulled off one of the best trades in NFL history.
