PITTSBURGH -- Calvin Austin III returned a punt for a touchdown and hauled in a lob by Russell Wilson for another score as the Pittsburgh Steelers beat the New York Giants 26-18 on Monday night.
Austin, listed at 5-foot-9 and 162 pounds, raced across the field before sprinting down the sideline for a 73-yard touchdown in the third quarter that gave the Steelers (6-2) the lead for good. He added a 29-yard over-the-shoulder grab from Wilson early in the fourth as Pittsburgh won its 22nd straight home game under the Monday night lights and took a one-game lead over Baltimore in the AFC North.
