Amazing Acrobatic Effort': Steelers' Receiver Hauls in Touchdown Catch You Need to Watch a Few Times in Slo-Mo to Appreciate

Pittsburgh Steelers' wide receiver Martavis Bryant put his squad ahead 15-0 heading into the fourth quarter in Saturday's AFC wild-card game against the Cincinnati Bengals with a touchdown catch you probably need to watch in slow motion a few times to appreciate.

Bryant twisted his body as he caught the pass from Ben Roethlisberger in the corner of the end zone, quickly losing his balance after his feet hit the turf, then dangerously holding the ball with only one hand.

But his grip proved to be enough.

— and somehow maintained possession the entire time.

His six points also proved valuable. Because a two-point conversion failed, Bryant's touchdown accounted for the Steelers' last points until kicker Chris Boswell booted a 35-yard field goal with 14 seconds left in the game to give the Steelers an 18-16 come-from-behind victory.
