Chris Harris Jr.

Though the Broncos allowed Ben Roethlisberger to pass for nearly 500 yards in this game, Chris Harris Jr. was a star.

He finished with six tackles, two pass breakups, and an interception for Denver and had one of the most important momentum-shifting plays in the game.

With the Steelers up by seven points in the third quarter on a 3rd-and-3 play, Harris intercepted Ben Roethlisberger on a play where everyone wearing black and gold couldn’t believe there was no flag for interference or defensive holding.

Harris played clean coverage, however, and was in perfect position to secure his third interception of the season.

That play set the Broncos up for a game-tying drive that took all of 37 seconds.

If not for that interception, the Steelers were near midfield and driving once again. They could have taken a two-score lead and the way their offense was moving the ball, the Broncos might have been in trouble.
