Devin Bush gets Steelers started right with scoop-and-score
Devin Bush got the Steelers off to a fast start Sunday night with a 9-yard fumble return of a backwards pass…
The Pittsburgh Steelers defense finally decided to do it themselves.
After weeks of the Steelers’ offense struggling to convert the defense’s takeaways, rookie linebacker Devin Bush removed the middleman, scooping up Melvin Gordon‘s fumble on a backwards pass from Philip Rivers. While the rest of his teammates were nearly stationary watching the loose ball, Bush showed awareness, picking up the ball and running it 9 yards into the end zone for the Steelers’ first score of the game.
