Plays of the Year: Eli Rogers “ping pong” TD catch

Steel City Underground presents “Plays of the Year” featuring the tops runs, catches, hits and everything else in-between for the Steelers 2016 season.

The Steelers opened their 2016 NFL season on Monday Night Football, traveling to the nation’s capitol to face the Washington Redskins.

After a couple of sloppy series, Pittsburgh opened up the scoring with a 4th down touchdown connection between Ben Roethlisberger and Antonio Brown. The Steelers defense then held Washington to two field goals, holding onto a tight 7-6 lead as they began the final drive of the first half with about six minutes remaining in the second quarter.

Chewing up yards and clock, the Steelers were running out of time with 37 seconds left on a 3rd-and-4 from the Redskins’ nine-yard line. In the shotgun formation, Roethlisberger takes the snap and passes left, intended for Sammie Coates… but he’s not the one who one ends up with the ball!
