No because there was a receiver right there!!!! What if he bats the ball into the receiver’s hands? I was fine with that interception. I’ve seen to many things go wrong when people over think something.

Totally agree!
The field position doesn’t matter at that point in the game. No matter where the ball lands, the Steelers need to run the clock and get one first down. They don’t need points so the red zone is insignificant there. Ball landing in Nelson’s arms ensures a turnover in possession opposes tomthe ball maybe being caught by the receiver by accident...see Stefan Diggs for example.
I don't really care, I'm just saying that the better play would have been to knock it down. I don't think it's debatable.
