Stud No. 2 – Malik Jackson
Malik Jackson is starting to make an almost permanent place for himself on the “Studs” list each week. That’s going to be a very good thing for Jackson next year, as he’s due a new contract.
Against Pittsburgh, Jackson had five tackles including two for a loss. He didn’t add to his league-leading passes defended (batted/deflected) stat (seven), but he did tack on two more sacks to his season total, which is now at 5.5.
Jackson was one of two Broncos defenders to get to Big Ben Roethlisberger on the day, along with rookie Shane Ray.
For good measure, Jackson added two quarterback hits on Roethlisberger, a claim only he, Ray and Von Miller could make.
