Chase Claypool's Celebration After Catch on Final Drive Hurts Steelers in Wild Loss

the Steelers found themselves in a lopsided matchup for nearly 40 minutes against the Vikings on Thursday night after Minnesota took a 29–0 lead with 6:15 to play in the third quarter.

But after going scoreless the entire first half, Pittsburgh ripped off three-straight touchdowns to make things very interesting before the Vikings added their final score of the game. Even with limited time after Minnesota's final score, the Steelers had a chance to win.

After Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger threw his third touchdown—a 15-yarder to tight end Pat Freiermuth—of the game, the Steelers converted a two-point conversion and came up with a defensive stand against the Vikings.
