Fitzpatrick is currently tied for the NFL lead with six interceptions, and if that holds up, he'd be the first Steeler to lead the league in interceptions since Mel Blount in 1975.
Fitzpatrick has been with the Steelers since he was acquired in a trade with the Miami Dolphins in 2019.
Linebacker T.J. Watt had won the team MVP award in each of the past two seasons.
