Watch: Calvin Austin III Kicks Off Pittsburgh Scoring With 72-Yard Touchdown Catch

The Pittsburgh Steelers offense finally showed some splash, taking advantage of the speed of WR Calvin Austin III for a 72-yard touchdown on a third-and-seven play with 6:12 left in the first quarter.

After surrendering a touchdown to WR Davante Adams, Pittsburgh’s drive looked uninspiring after back-to-back three-and-outs, but QB Kenny Pickett aired it out on third down and was able to find Austin wide open and he let his speed do the rest for the score.

It was Austin’s first touchdown of his NFL career, and by far the longest play of his NFL career.
