Just when it looked like the Pittsburgh Steelers were going to tie their preseason opener against the Houston Texans at 7-7 midway through the second quarter, veteran quarterback Kyle Allen came up with a bad throw in a big spot, one that he was frustrated with a few hours later after the 20-12 loss to the Texans.
On 4th and goal from the 2-yard line with 8:29 left in the second quarter, the Steelers under new offensive coordinator Arthur Smith drew it up perfectly, getting third-year wide receiver Calvin Austin III wide open in the back left corner of the end zone for what should have been a layup throw.
