Kyle Dugger has officially made an impact play with his new team. Dugger intercepted a pass from Bengals quarterback Joe Flacco and returned it to the end zone for a pick-six, increasing Pittsburgh’s lead over Cincinnati to 20-9.
The Steelers acquired Dugger from the Patriots in a trade on October 30. This interception marks Dugger’s first with the Steelers and his first pick since 2023, while also being the third pick-six of his career.
On the other side, Flacco is currently 14-of-26 for 119 yards, with one touchdown and one interception in Sunday’s game.
Meanwhile, Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers remains sidelined due to a left wrist injury. Pittsburgh has announced him as questionable to return. In his place, Mason Rudolph has taken over at quarterback.
