Steelers' Minkah Fitzpatrick: 'It's frustrating losing to people that you know
that you're better than'
Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick was salty after Sunday's 24-20 loss to the New York Jets, in which Pittsburgh failed to hold onto a double-digit fourth-quarter lead.

"It's very frustrating," Fitzpatrick said, via NJ Advance Media. "It's frustrating losing to people that you know that you're better than, more talented than. Especially when you have the team that we have. We're a great team with a lot of talent. A lot of great young players. I think we are way better than what we've been putting on display."

After a sluggish start, rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett guided the Steelers to a 20-10 lead early in the fourth quarter after two rushing touchdowns. But Zach Wilson led the Jets to a late comeback, punctuated by running back Breece Hall's go-ahead touchdown with 18 seconds left to stun the Pittsburgh crowd.

"Well, they made the necessary plays," Fitzpatrick said. "They won the third downs. We didn't win them. They're getting the ball to the guys they wanted to get it to. We didn't stop them. When they get the ball to where they want to get it to, it's tough to win."
