While the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense and defense left much to be desired in their performances at Heinz Field yesterday, the special teams is about the only thing that stepped up. Rookie punter Pressley Harvin III had a strong game after a shaky debut the week before. And veteran kicker Chris Boswell set a new stadium record with the longest field goal ever made.
Trailing 23-14 and needing to make it a one-possession game, the Steelers called upon Boswell from the Las Vegas Raiders’ 38-yard line with 3:47 to play in the fourth quarter, needing him to make a 56-yard field goal.
