Kenneth Gainwell might be the Pittsburgh Steelers’ backup running back, but he just recorded their best touchdown catch of the year.
Gainwell has spent most of the year working behind Jaylen Warren, but he has been arguably the team’s most important offensive player over the last month. He continued his 2025 season breakout with a ridiculous touchdown catch just before halftime in Week 16.
Gainwell lined up as a wideout as the Steelers took a 2nd-and-10 play from the Detroit Lions’ 45-yard line. After getting dragged down by Alex Anzalone down the sideline, Gainwell hauled in a ridiculous catch while lying down before popping back to his feet and scampering into the end zone.

The play was blown dead at first, but officials ruled that he was not touched and called the play a touchdown after discussion.
This is a developing story.
