PITTSBURGH -- It seemed there was no way Pat Freiermuth was going to catch the ball arcing high over his head at Acrisure Stadium on Oct. 20.
But as the Pittsburgh Steelers tight end rumbled down the sideline, the ball took a nosedive and came into view a couple yards in front of him. With an outstretched arm, Freiermuth tipped it to himself and made an acrobatic 21-yard snag.
Just like that, Freiermuth understood the magic of a Russell Wilson moon ball.
"I really didn't think I was going to get to it, but he said he saw that the defender grabbed my arms, and he knew how to put a little more on it," Freiermuth told ESPN.
