Suisham made two of three field goals and all three extra points as the Steelers cruised past the Panthers 27-3 on Thursday night.|||||||
Suisham is 12 for 13 on field goals for the Steelers, missing a 41-yarder Thursday. One miss can affect the confidence of a kicker so fantasy owners may want to look elsewhere for their kicking points in Week 17.
