Indianapolis Colts second-year safety Nick Cross has been seeing increased playing time on defense over the last few weeks, and he showed why with a spectacular interception against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday.
With George Pickens running a corner-post, Cross did a great job staying with it in coverage as the single-high safety. Mitch Trubisky thought Pickens could win the 1v1 deep down the field, but Cross put his elite athleticism on display.
The Maryland product climbed the ladder, mossing Pickens on the way to his first career interception.
