PICK SIX

CB Antoine Winfield

Leads the team with 85 tackles and has four interceptions, 11 pass breakups, four tackles for losses and four quarterback hurries.

Right cornerback Brian Williams

Has four interceptions, nine pass breakups, a sack, seven QB hurries and two forced fumbles.

Strong safety Corey Chavous

Fourth on the team with 69 tackles and has two interceptions, seven pass breakups, seven quarterback hurries and four tackles for losses.

Chavous has not missed a start in his four seasons with the team.

Free safety Darren Sharper

Tied for second in NFL with eight interceptions and leads the Vikings with 16 passes defensed.

Nickel back Fred Smoot

Has two interceptions and is second on the team with 12 pass breakups.

Dime back Ralph Brown

Fifth-year veteran has seven passes defensed to go along with his 22 tackles. He beat out rookie Dovonte Edwards for playing time in the dime defense last week. Played nickel when Smoot was out.

Yes, it has been a while since the Vikings' D has done their share in the spoils. It is nice to finally have a team that can potentially win in different facets of the game. I am really burned out on the potent offense with nothing to complement it.

I think Sharper will get two today.....unless big ben goes out early hurt then it will be atleast double that.

I see alot of running in this game today from the Steelers, so I'm hoping for some fumbles..

PHAT Pat and KW, combine for 2 fumbles, both being takeaways..

2 INTS....... One Sharper, One Smoot.......

All I can say is that the pittsburg offense scores under 20 giving us an awesome chance to win! We will score 20-13...

2002 16 Greg Biekert, 4

Thats very sad when a LB leads your team in picks!

That s a fact! but who cares if we get NONE!?!??!? Win today!!!!!!!!!! and LOVE tomorrow!

that kind of crazy how sharper has only been here for 13 games.
