Lions Godwin Igwebuike, Jermar Jefferson run through Steelers for long TDs

PITTSBURGH - Detroit Lions running back Godwin Igwebuike broke off a 42-yard touchdown at 12:09 of the third quarter Sunday to give the Lions a 16-10 lead over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

It was Igwebuike's first career touchdown, but Ryan Santoso missed the extra point.

It was the Lions' longest rushing touchdown since Week 5 of 2011 when Jahvid Best went 88 yards against the Chicago Bears, and it was the Lions' longest rushing touchdown on the road since Barry Sanders scored from 51 yards out in Week 11 in 1997 against Washington.
