Steelers cornerback Patrick Peterson had a guarantee for his season opener against the 49ers. His guarantee backfired.
The 33-year-old cornerback said on his podcast ‘All Things Covered’ that he studied enough tape on San Francisco’s offense to know what plays were coming.

He wouldn’t divulge what those tells are, instead saying “when I get my pick Sunday we’ll talk about it.”
Not only did Peterson not have an interception, but he was instead beat twice for touchdowns by 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk as part of a career-day for the fourth-year WR.
Whatever tells the 49ers offense has weren’t helpful to Peterson or the Steelers defense as San Francisco rolled to a 30-7 victory.
Yikes.
