The Pittsburgh Steelers have certainly had their misadventures on kickoffs before. Just earlier this season, former Steelers WR Gunner Olszewski actually toe-tapped a kickoff at the 9-yard line when, if he’d only let it go out of bounds, the ball would have been brought out to the 40.
Their current kick returner had a better head for the moment last night. Godwin Igwebuike showed great situational intelligence as a kickoff rolled safely near the sideline. He placed his feet just out of bounds while fielding it to trigger a penalty for a kick out of bounds at the 5-yard line.
