    As long as the other guy doesn't have a hissy fit I'm digging this team.

    The wheels have always been there. If he can be a threat, it really changes things drastically for the offense.

    I've been waiting for him to make a big play, and he finally did. Good for him

    I hope so. I know that the long TD is going to be what everyone remembers, but he had a great catch on 3rd down and another really good one on the sideline earlier in the game. Those are the things you love to see. Hopefully he continues to show growth.

    Aiyuk. Probably still would… but it’s nice to see some life out of a Steelers WR not named Pickens this year

    Was hoping in training camp he would excel. He sure did today! Needs to be more involved going forward.

    may I introduce MANY of you to CA3 - many wrote him OFF, trashed him all offseason and last year. I said WAIT - put him in a REAL offense with a NFL coordinator and QB that can throw a pass.

    you saw something today.

    watch and learn.

    kid can fly. and he is not some weak midget, as some have labeled him.

    he CAN be a threat if he is gameplanned in.....

    idiot Canada + lousy Pickett could not get him the ball last year.

    As soon as caught the ball and took his first step upfield I knew he was gone.

    you can't defend SPEED. he is a burner. GET him the ball. work him into this game plan.

    today was better, getting the ball spread out. Miller too. Now - continue to get Wilson healthy.

    onto INDY!!!

    Star players like Watt and Pickens need to know they are picking up double teams so someone else can shine. When no one else steps up then you have problems. Amazing how “winning” cures a lot BS.

    Good point about Miller, he really stepped up when Van Jefferson got hurt. I think the trio of Pickens, Austin and Miller will get the job done and hopefully Roman Wilson will be ready soon.

    CA3 hasn’t had the best qbs on field to give him a fair chance. This guy is the real deal. Sauce Gardner said CA3 was the only guy he couldn’t cover in college. That says a lot.

    In Austin's rookie season Matt Canada said that he really didn't know how to use someone with his skill set.
