PITTSBURGH -- With 20 seconds and 60 yards separating the Pittsburgh Steelers from a fourth consecutive loss or a miraculous comeback, quarterback Russell Wilson uncorked one of his signature moonballs to George Pickens.

But much like the three thrown Pickens' way before that, it, too, fell incomplete as it sailed past the receiver's outstretched hands and bounced to the turf. Pickens had his man beat, but the pass was too long, and the wide receiver couldn't adjust in time.

Leaping as he extended backward in a futile attempt to make a late adjustment to the ball, Pickens fell to the turf on his back, tumbling until he came to rest in a slumped, fetal position on the sideline.
