Keenan Lewis looked like a scrappy welterweight engaged in a gutsy bout, one accentuated with furious, perpetual exchanges of body blows with the New York Giants’ slippery receivers.
The Steelers’ sometimes-embattled cornerback took some shots — two pass interference penalties that totaled nearly the length of the field. But with quarterback Eli Manning trying to punch his way out of the corner, Lewis and the rest the Steelers’ secondary delivered the knockout blows to secure a hard-fought 24-20 victory at MetLife Stadium on Sunday.

| Lewis is getting closer and closer to being a CB that can get some INTs for us. It's a matter of time before he is known as a ballhawking corner. The more comfortable he gets, the more chances he'll take. _________________  -"I stand corrected...
