Quick – who is responsible for the longest play so far in this young NFL season?
If you guessed former Notre Dame wide receiver Chase Claypool then you win the toaster oven!
Leading the Broncos 7-3 just past midway through the second quarter or Sunday’s game, Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger looked to his left to find the rookie Claypool roughly 40 yards down field and Claypool pulled in the catch before letting his legs do the rest.

It’s only been two weeks but already Claypool has two ridiculous highlights in his NFL career after his first reception was one of the best catches you’ll see all season.
The touchdown gave the Steelers a 14-3 lead over Denver and as of posting, Pittsburgh leads Denver 17-3 at halftime.
