Former Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Levi Wallace has struggled in Monday’s game against the Cleveland Browns as the Denver Broncos try to slow down Jameis Winston and what has become a high-powered passing attack. In a revenge game, former Broncos and now Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy has toasted the Broncos, including Wallace, for a 70-yard touchdown.
Wallace is playing because Broncos cornerback Riley Moss is out with a knee injury. Yet, he has been picked on and played mostly against Jeudy, who has toasted Wallace. Meanwhile, Wallace also allowed a 43-yard catch to Elijah Moore.
Wallace played for the Steelers for two seasons but was benched in the middle of last season after struggling for Joey Porter Jr. On the day, Jeudy received over 200 yards, with many of those yards coming against Wallace.
The Steelers let Wallace walk this offseason and traded Diontae Johnson to the Carolina Panthers for Donte Jackson. Jackson has a team-high five interceptions and has been an upgrade over Wallace from last season.
The Broncos' defense did end up making a massive play at the end of the game when Broncos cornerback Ja’Quan McMillain took back a pick-six to ice the game late in the fourth quarter.
