Steelers, Panthers set record by scoring three touchdowns in 23 seconds

PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers and Carolina Panthers in the first quarter of Thursday night's game did something no two teams had done in the Super Bowl era.

They combined for three touchdowns in 23 seconds, a new record for the shortest span, according to ELIAS Sports Bureau.

The previous record for three touchdowns was 26 seconds by the New England Patriots and Raiders in 2008.

The Panthers used 4:31 on their opening possession, scoring on a 20-yard touchdown pass from Cam Newton to running back Christian McCaffrey at the 10:29 mark.
