Preseason Offensive Play of the Game: Dobbs goes deep to Hunter

Steel City Underground will pick a play of the game from each side of the ball each week of the Steelers 2017 season. Stay tuned as we hand select the very best from the black and gold!

Who said preseason football isn’t exciting?

The Steelers started off their Thursday night exhibition finale slow, falling to a 7-0 lead to the Carolina Panthers on the road. A muffed punt led to Pittsburgh getting the ball back on their own 42-yard line.

That’s when Steelers offensive coordinator Todd Haley dialed up the deep ball, calling for Justin Hunter to out-run his defender and see if Joshua Dobbs’ arm could complete the play.

Spoiler alert: Hunter doesn’t lose his shoe this time, as he did in Week 3!
