Good for Ike!

Congrats Ike. Great to see how far he has come since the beginning of the season!

Remember lo those many weeks ago when people were claiming he was the worst CB in the league?

That's why we should never judge a player on one or two games. Especially a veteran.

The reality is that Ike wasn't playing well. He got called out on it and that seems to have woke him up.

I'm glad to have him back playing up to his ability.

Steelers (http://triblive.com/sports/steelers/) cornerback Ike Taylor has been chosen as the AFC defensive player of the week for the second time in his career.

Taylor made the first interception by a Steelers cornerback this season during the 24-20 win Sunday over the New York Giants. He also made five tackles and broke up a pass as the Steelers held Giants quarterback Eli Manning to season lows in completions (10) and passing yards (125).

Taylor played in his 131st consecutive game, the longest streak by any current NFL cornerback..............

Eli Manning should have gotten it.

I heard they gave the award to Ike but it bounced off his chest.

Well, when he gets an interception, the earth moves.

No one was claiming it, the numbers were pronouncing it loud and clear. Through the first 5 weeks he was putrid and he was a big part of the reason we lost to the Raiders, Broncos, and Titans.

Fans weren't being premature, Ike started off the season lousy and given how last season ended for him and the Steelers, how could you not wonder if he came to a career crossroads?

I'm glad he's rebounded and improved the quality of his play.

By the way I'm happy for Ike getting this award. But Keenan Lewis had a better overall game against the Giants in my opinion.
