‘I Did A Straw Poll, Man’: Mike Tomlin Explains How Scotty Miller Became Emergency Holder

The Pittsburgh Steelers found themselves in a very difficult situation in the fourth quarter of their season opener, holding a 15-10 lead over the Atlanta Falcons. But Scotty Miller came up big for the Black and Gold in the end.

With punter Cameron Johnston, who served as the holder on field goals and extra points, injured following a gruesome hit to his lower leg, the Steelers were without a holder.

Miller came to the rescue though.

The veteran wide receiver stepped up and held on kicker Chris Boswell’s 25-yard field goal to give Pittsburgh an 18-10 lead.
