Steelers' Jalen Ramsey Records First Interception in Pittsburgh Victory

The Pittsburgh Steelers' offseason acquisition of cornerback Jalen Ramsey has already shown significant impact in the early 2025 season. In their Week 2 game against the Seattle Seahawks, Ramsey intercepted quarterback Sam Darnold on a pass intended for Cooper Kupp, marking his 25th career interception and the Steelers' first defensive takeaway of the season. This interception helped the Steelers narrow the score, with Chris Boswell converting a 48-yard field goal. Ramsey's presence has addressed the Steelers' longstanding issues covering slot receivers, and his versatility as a playmaker has been praised by teammates and analysts alike. Despite some defensive struggles overall, Ramsey's performance, including a key hit on Garrett Wilson in the previous game, has been a bright spot, indicating the trade for him continues to pay dividends. Meanwhile, the Falcons' rookie defensive back Billy Bowman Jr. also made a notable impact by recording his first career interception and contributing to multiple sacks in a game against the Vikings, highlighting promising young defensive talent across the league.
