HARRISON’S RETURN LB James Harrison, who announced his retirement on September 5, 2014 returned to the Steelers for a 12th season in the NFL in 2014 (11th with Pittsburgh: 2002, 2004-12 and 2013 with Cincinnati) and re-signed with the franchise on March 22, 2015. Harrison hauled in an interception in the fourth quarter on Kickoff Weekend at Washington – his eighth career interception and seventh as a Steeler - and forced a fumble in the fourth quarter of Week Two’s game vs. Cincinnati. Harrison ranks second in Steelers history with 74.5 quarterback sacks since the stat became offi cial in 1982, and his 18 multi-sack games are the most since 1982 by a Steeler:

MITCHELL IN THE BACKFIELD S Mike Mitchell is one of fi ve Pittsburgh defensive backs with at least 10 total tackles in 2016 and has added two pass break-ups through the fi rst three games of the season.

SHAZIER ON THE INSIDE LB Ryan Shazier leads the Steelers’ defense with 20 com-bined tackles in 2016, including 12 solo stops, along with two passes defensed, a tackle for a loss, one forced fumble and an interception. In Week One on Monday Night Football at Washington, Shazier totaled 6 tackles (5 solo) and recorded his second career inter-ception in the third quarter, one play after forcing his third career forced fumble.
