Martavis Bryant catches deep TD pass (Video)

Martavis Bryant aided the early return of Ben Roethlisberger with a flawless 32-yard touchdown catch.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Martavis Bryant continues to be one of the most dangerous deep threat receivers in the NFL. He benefited from the return of Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who came in for Landry Jones. Jones made the start for the Steelers before leaving with an ankle injury. Roethlisberger has instantly proven that he is okay, and he put the icing on the cake with this beautiful 32-yard touchdown pass to Bryant.

Roethlisberger already has 286 passing yards with three touchdown passes at halftime against the Cleveland Browns, and the Steelers hold a 21-3 lead. Bryant is having himself quite a game too with four receptions for 145 yards and a touchdown, and the Steelers offense continues to look like one of the top units in the NFL. The Steelers’ playoff hunt has been greatly boosted with the early and unexpected return of Roethlisberger.

The Steelers quarterback had been sitting out for several weeks with a knee injury before suffering a foot injury that caused him to be questionable for Week 10. Although the Steelers lost a key backup in Jones, this turned out to be a blessing in disguise as Roethlisberger has shown no signs of being hobbled. It remains to be seen whether the Steelers can carry their momentum into the end of the season with a tough schedule ahead. Their next opponents will be the Seattle Seahawks, Indianapolis Colts, Cincinnati Bengals and Denver Broncos.
