The Pittsburgh Steelers trailed early against the Miami Dolphins but found a way to take the lead — thanks to the speed of receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey.
FACT: @theDHB85 is WAAAAAAYY faster than anyone you've got on D.
60. Yard. TD.

Pittsburgh added a two-point conversion to take an 8-3 lead.
It was the longest run and first rushing touchdown in the career of Heyward-Bey. Prior to this play, he’d never had more than 48 rushing yards in a given season.
If this is something that opposing defenses are going to have to consistently worry about, then the Steelers’ offense becomes even more unfair.
Pittsburgh already has an abundance of weapons that defenses have to try to slow down. If those defenses now have to worry about reverses from a speedster like Heyward-Bey, it gets even tougher.
