Calvin Austin's 73-Yard Punt Return, Steelers' First Since 2019, Gives Pittsburgh 16–9 Lead Over Giants
Oct 29, 2024, 02:17 AM
Calvin Austin III's 73-yard punt return for a touchdown, the first touchdown of the game, gave the Pittsburgh Steelers a 16-9 lead over the New York Giants in the third quarter at Acrisure Stadium. This marks the Steelers' first punt return touchdown since Week 14 of the 2019 season. The game had been dominated by six field goals before Austin's return. Russell Wilson completed 16 of 24 passes for 189 yards for Pittsburgh, while Najee Harris rushed for 84 yards on 12 carries, including a hurdle over Giants' cornerback Deonte Banks, who was absent from the field in the second half. The Giants' special teams struggled, allowing the punt return touchdown and failing to execute key plays. The Giants' offense continued to falter, failing to score a touchdown in their last 23 drives. Quarterback Daniel Jones went 14 of 20 for 156 yards, and Tyron Tracy rushed for 73 yards on 15 carries. The Steelers' defense intensified its pressure, recording back-to-back sacks and limiting the Giants' scoring opportunities. Notably, the Steelers have dominated third quarters this season, scoring 53 points and allowing none.
