MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Welcome to the NFL, George Pickens.

The Pittsburgh Steelers rookie wide receiver, who made a name for himself with incredible catches in training camp, finally snagged an eye-popping one in the end zone for his first career NFL touchdown.

Pickens grabbed quarterback Kenny Pickett's throw nearly in midturn as he wiggled and ran away from tight coverage by Miami cornerback Noah Igbinoghene. Pickens' touchdown had a 35.7% completion probability, the lowest on a Steelers touchdown this season, according to NFL Next Gen Stats. The score capped a 13-play, 86-yard drive over 7 minutes and 29 seconds.
