Former Pittsburgh Steelers FS Minkah Fitzpatrick had one of his best games of the 2025 season in Week 13, capping off the Miami Dolphins' Week 13 win over the New Orleans Saints with an incredibly rare defensive 2-point conversion, AKA a pick-2.

With less than two minutes remaining in the contest, Saints QB Tyler Shough connected with WR Devaughn Vele on a 15-yard touchdown. This gave New Orleans an opportunity to tie the game with a successful 2-point conversion — but Fitzpatrick had other plans, intercepting Shough and taking it back for two points in Miami's favor.

The two points courtesy of Fitzpatrick's interception proved to be a difference maker, as the Saints managed to get the ball back on a controversial onside kick but were down 21-17 thanks to the former Steelers' heroics, taking the field goal option off the board for New Orleans.

Coincidentally, Kansas City Chiefs S Eric Berry became the first NFL player to achieve the incredible pick-2 9 years ago, in Week 13 of all dates, with Fitzpatrick now joining him in the history books.
