Pittsburgh's Markus Wheaton hauls in 72-yard bomb

Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Markus Wheaton caught a 72-yard touchdown as the Steelers edged the San Diego Chargers on Monday night.

What It Means:

Wheaton only caught 1-of-3 targets, but he made the one count, hauling in a bomb from Michael Vick. The long scoring strike knotted the score 17-17 in the fourth quarter.

The long touchdown made Wheaton the Steelers' most productive wideout of the game, something you won't be able to say often. He amassed 6.13 Reception Net Expected Points (NEP), which is more than half of the 10.78 Reception NEP he had piled up through the first four games.
