A surprising player stepped up to help the Pittsburgh Steelers engineer a win over the Atlanta Falcons.
Pittsburgh Steelers place kicker Chris Boswell kicks a field goal as wide receiver Scotty Miller holds during the second half of an NFL football game against the Atlanta Falcons, Sunday, Sep. 8, 2024, in Atlanta. The Steelers defeated the Falcons 18-10.
Wide receiver Scotty Miller, who entered the game at two different spots due to injury, had to become the holder for Boswell’s last field goal. Boswell and Miller ran through that only once on Friday, just in. He held perfectly and allowed Boswell to nail the kick. Miller was thrust into duty as a gunner, too, after Darius Rush had to be evaluated for a concussion. On Boswell’s punt, it was Miller’s excellent coverage tackle that held the punt return to just one yard.
“We had some unique contributions today, like Scotty Miller as a backup holder. Look at your flip card, man. You don’t see a backup holder on that flip card. So we’re just really appreciative of unique skill sets that help us win,” head coach Mike Tomlin said.
