The Pittsburgh Steelers made it three wins in a row after Calvin Austin III scored two touchdowns in a 26-18 win against the New York Giants on Monday.
The 25-year-old wide receiver scored the Steelers’ first punt return touchdown in nearly five years during the third quarter.
The victory was tied up in the fourth quarter when quarterback Russell Wilson found Austin with his signature ‘moon ball’ throw.
“I try to give the guys a chance,” Wilson said.
“They always do a good job of making me look halfway decent, and they have great plays.
“I’ve been definitely throwing it up to the moon for a long time, and let it come down and let them have a chance to make a great play.”
With the scores locked at 9-9 at half-time, the Steelers went into the final quarter with a 16-9 lead.
Rookie running back Tyrone Tracy Jr got the Giants back in it with a 45-yard touchdown, but Steelers cornerback Beanie Bishop Jr sealed the win by intercepting on the Giants’ final drive.
The win takes the Steelers to the top of the AFC North table, while the Giants are rooted to the bottom of the NFC East.
