The Pittsburgh Steelers are playing the Cleveland Browns at home in their season opener, and they got off to a flying start in the first half against their division rival.
Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger threw for over 200 yards in the first half, but there was a highlight-worthy play that involved second-year wide receiver Markus Wheaton.
Roethlisberger threw a deep pass for 40 yards to Wheaton, and the receiver caught the ball near the sideline and touched both his feet in bounds before stepping out.
Here is a Vine video of this breakout candidate making a name for himself.
