With only 3 regular season games remaining, the playoffs are rapidly approaching for Shaun Suisham and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Through 14 games this season, Suisham is kicking below his career average in field goal percentage at 75%, going 18 for 24, while kicking a season long field goal of 49 yards.

Last season, Suisham, who joined the Steelers midway through the season, helped his team travel all the way to the Super Bowl before they were defeated by the Green Bay Packers. This season, Pittsburgh sits atop the AFC North Division and again will be a favourite to advance to the big game.

Suisham, a Wallaceburg, Ontario product, kicked a 33-yard field goal in Super Bowl XLV, and hit two point after attempts.

Suisham and the Pittsburgh Steelers had an extra long week off after playing Cleveland last Thursday. The Steelers’ next game is Monday, December 19 against the San Francisco 49ers.
