The Pittsburgh Steelers appeared to be destined to go into the half trailing the Detroit Lions on Sunday after failing to get anything going offensively. Then Aaron Rodgers lofted one up for grabs in the direction of running back Kenneth Gainwell, who was streaking down the right sideline. Somehow Gainwell managed to make a juggling catch, get up untouched and race into the end zone for a 45-yard touchdown to pull Pittsburgh level.
It was one of the strangest plays of the NFL season and spring-boarded the Steelers to 19 unanswered points in what ended up as a controversial 29-24 victory. The unconventional score could also prove enormous if Rodgers's crew hangs on to control of the AFC North.
