The final seconds of the Pittsburgh Steelers thrilling win over the Green Bay Packers was filled with drama. Some of that drama wasn’t on the field. We already talked about the near-brawl that started after safety Damontae Kazee’s game-winning interception. However, even before that, there was a blowup between Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick and defensive coordinator Teryl Austin.
You can see from the video below that Fitzpatrick was not happy with Austin’s play call on that final play and wasn’t shy about letting him know. You then see head coach Mike Tomlin stroll over and say something to Austin that seemed to bring things back to Earth.

The Steelers defense got two key interceptions of Green Bay quarterback Jordan Love. The defense wasn’t great in the win but found a way to make big plays when the team needed them. Fitzpatrick missed the game with a hamstring injury but it didn’t keep him from helping out his defense with that final play call.
