Preseason Offensive Play of the Game: Justin Hunter will not be denied a touchdown

Steel City Underground will pick a play of the game from each side of the ball each week of the Steelers 2017 season. Stay tuned as we hand select the very best from the black and gold!

It may have taken three-and-a-half quarters of football, but the Pittsburgh Steelers offense finally scored a touchdown during their preseason encounter with the Atlanta Falcons Sunday afternoon.

With fourth string quarterback Bart Houston under center, the Steelers stormed down to the Atlanta three-yard line following a brilliant 19-yard run by rookie running back James Conner.

That play was followed by an incomplete pass and a two-yard run which fell one-yard shy of the endzone.

On third-and-1, Houston would fail to get play restarted, sending the Steelers five yards backward on a delay of game penalty. Houston would go under center once again, connecting with veteran NFL wide receiver Justin Hunter, who displayed his savvy to find the goal line and put the Steelers ahead for the win.
