Steelers' Diontae Johnson lays out for 39-yard TD catch vs. Colts

PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers' late third-quarter score will go down in the stat sheet as a 39-yard touchdown, but the ball from Ben Roethlisberger to Diontae Johnson traveled about 50 yards in the air to pull the them within two scores of the Indianapolis Colts.

It was a drastic departure from the short passes and incompletions that riddled the first half of Sunday afternoon's game against the Colts.

For the better part of the game, Roethlisberger looked like the quarterback who threw for just 19 yards in the first half in last Monday's loss to the Bengals.
