‘That Was A Big Energy Boost’: Mason Rudolph Breaks Down Explosive TD To Diontae Johnson In Win Over Ravens

After a strong initial start to the game for the Pittsburgh Steelers offensively, things bogged down in a big way for the Black and Gold, which stretched through the second quarter and on into the third quarter.

Things were quite a mess as the Steelers punted the football five times after the touchdown drive on the second possession of the game, and fumbled three other times, losing possession.

But then, late in the third quarter the Steelers started to find some rhythm offensively. Then, on the first play of the fourth quarter, quarterback Mason Rudolph struck, hitting wide receiver Diontae Johnson for a 71-yard touchdown on an in-breaking route over the middle, firing a dart in between the safety and the cornerback, giving the Steelers a significant spark that was ultimately the game-winning score.
