Late in the Week 5 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, just two plays before the game-winning touchdown pass from Dak Prescott to Jalen Tolbert, Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Elandon Roberts made a highlight-reel play.
By now, you’ve seen it. Roberts leaped over the line of scrimmage at the goal line, hit Dallas running back Rico Dowdle in mid-air and forced a fumble. Unfortunately, Prescott was able to jump on the ball, but it was still a remarkable play, one that looked like Roberts sold out entirely for and hoped was a run.
But according to Steelers long snapper Christian Kuntz, it was a play Roberts knew was coming due to his film study and instincts.
