The Steeler Fury Player of the Week for Week # 13 is Larry Foote

Larry Foote is the Steeler Fury Player of the Week for Week 13 against the Cincinnati Bengals.  This selection was difficult because of the performance of Hines Ward (again) and his historic record of 64 TD receptions surpassing Steelers legend John Stallworth. But at the end of the day, Larry Foote and his defense stood out and bailed out some other units of the team to go 9-3.  

Often quiet during this season, Larry Foote has been busy the last few games and last night was no exception.  Larry Foote was vigilant as a linebacker and was as physical as we would expect a Steelers linebacker to be.   

Stats for Larry Foote were:   

• Four tackles.
• Two assists.
• One sack (the only Steelers sack).
• One forced fumble.

Foote was able to apply pressure on Carson Palmer and interrupt his timing and route reads.  Foote and his defense held a dangerous RB in Rudi Johnson to 34 yards rushing with his longest gain being for four yards.  Foote was a significant factor and holding a capable offense to 10 points.

Congrats to Larry Foote, SteelerFury Player of the Week (Week #13).
