Jabrill Peppers showed the Patriots what they lost when they shockingly released him before the season began.
The Steelers safety forced a fumble on Antonio Gibson in the third quarter and amassed six tackles in Pittsburgh’s 21-14 win over New England at Gillette Stadium.
“I think as former players, when you’re playing former teams, that’s what you want. You want to make a big play and make them think about what they lost,” Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said after the game. “So, there’s always that every single week, there’s a guy that’s facing his former team, probably, and you’d like to get him the ball or like to have him make some plays. But he was definitely happy in the locker room.”
Peppers was one of the Patriots’ top safeties during his three seasons in New England. T
