The Pittsburgh Steelers were hoping that the return of wide receiver Markus Wheaton would help round their offense into form a bit more after averaging 31 points per game through the first two weeks. Not only did the offense struggle as a whole, however, but Wheaton also proved to be an unreliable target in his first game back.
Wheaton was targeted five times during the game and managed to come up with just one pass for two yards on a second-and-five play late in the game. At least two of his targets resulted in dropped passes with no defensive influence, while a third incompletion was aided by defensive contact, yet I expect most will mark the pass as a drop all the same, as it was certainly a catchable ball.
