Minkah Fitzpatrick defends hit that injured Nick Chubb: 'There's nothing I really would do differently'

Following Nick Chubb's gruesome injury on Monday night, fans were quick to point the finger.

Pittsburgh Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick made the tackle that resulted in the injury that ESPN didn't even opt to show a replay of. (It's accessible on the Internet if you so choose.)

He also described how quickly the play happened, so there wasn't much time to think, and he was simply just being reactive to what he saw.
