TAYLOR SWEEPS PLAYER OF THE WEEK AWARDS IN WEEK FIVE!

AFC Defensive Player of the Week

Cornerback IKE TAYLOR of the Pittsburgh Steelers was named the AFC Defensive Player of the Week, awarded by the NFL.  Ike is the first Steelers' player to receive this award this season.  Way to go Ike!

Taylor played a key role in the Steelers’ 21-0 shutout against the Seahawks. The veteran cornerback notched five tackles, one interception and four passes defensed as the Steelers recorded their first shutout at Heinz Field and their first home shutout since 10/15/00 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Taylor registered his second interception of the season at Pittsburgh’s goal line on the final play of the first half to end Seattle’s best chance for a score in the game.

Sports Illustrated named Taylor its Defensive Player of the Week for Week Five!

Pittsburgh CB Ike Taylor. Late first half. Steelers trying to preserve a 7-0 lead; Seahawks driving. Matt Hasselbeck sends wideout Ben Obomanu up the field into the end zone, and he dekes Taylor one way. Taylor recovers in a Champ Baileyesque way, stepping in front of Obomanu to make an acrobatic interception. "Ike's a good football player, with the potential to be great,'' coach Mike Tomlin said. Five tackles and four passes defensed, too. Heck of a job.
