## Resource

Bud Dupree recounts his infamous 2016 playoff hit on Matt Moore — a brutal, flag-worthy tackle that cost him $18K — highlighting the Steelers’ old-school, aggressive defense where he embraced the “rat player” mentality. He recalls teammates like Cam Heyward and Stephon Tuitt playing to “kill people,” a physical era now softened by rule changes. After bouncing between teams post-Pittsburgh, including stints with the Titans and Falcons, Dupree remains tied to his Steelers roots, praising the organization and Coach Tomlin, and saying he’d jump at a chance to return — even if it’s not happening in 2024.
