Steelers' Ahkello Witherspoon: Two interceptions against Vikings

Witherspoon tallied four solo tackles, two interceptions and three pass defenses in Thursday's 36-28 loss to the Vikings.

Witherspoon had taken on a fairly minimal role early in the year after he was traded from Seattle to Pittsburgh in September. However, he's had plenty of playing time in each of the last two games while Joe Haden (foot) has been sidelined. Both of the 26-year-old's second-half interceptions Thursday led to touchdowns as the Steelers nearly pulled off an improbable comeback. Witherspoon's playing time will likely decrease once Haden is cleared to return, but he certainly impressed in Thursday's matchup.
