Did anyone else see how happy Mike T. Was throughout the game? I don't remember seeing him this happy in a game in a long time.. Russ has made a huge impact on the offense

[ChrisHasak]

They fact that they could have scored 40 last night if they punched it in the endzone is probably the most encouraging thing about this offense I've seen all year

[deadpanduke]

I’m so happy for Cal. He’s one of the most humble dudes and a hell of a player

[ScoShow]

This is gotta be the best special teams units that I can remember in a long time. You can see the synergy they have with each other and with Danny Smith. It’s a treat to watch. Keep it up boys.

Van Jefferson was really good last night too.

[MarvyG]

So happy to see more successful deep throws

D.K…you’re a fan 😂 change my mind..thank you for your programs! ❤

[debrasedok]

Cal was amazing. So glad that his "guy" set him up and he broke away on that punt return!! And he made a TD on a "beautiful pass from Russ, " as you said. 👏👏👏 😁👍👍👍👍

[Keefer]

With the amount of injuries the Steelers are dealing with across the board, I can’t complain where Pittsburgh is at right now considering.

[victorsimmons]

Hey DK the game was worth staying up for

[ksmba]

Getting splash from Calvin Austin & Beanie Bishop is the hockey equivalent of getting scoring from your 3rd & 4th line.

[LJK]

As a fellow Memphian, I am proud of Calvin!!

DK, the beauty of you're reporting is that you get to know these players and confirm what kind of people they appear to be, and i LOVE that you LOVED seeing this kid break out, kinda heartwarming at the risk of sounding soft because your point about his career is also valid, props to Coach T for "redshirting" him! ANOTHER GREAT PHOTO TOO! Awesome work 😎

[JoeFixIt]

As a habitual dad joke teller that makes my kids roll their eyes, I applaud your agregious pun DK! 😆

[brandonwallick]

He has worked hard and came back from injury to be great! ❤

[steelking]

We saw Najee and Jaylen get downfield targets! They will get 'Muth more targets and this team will score 27 or more each week. I'm excited. I was wrong about both Justin and Russ back in JUL/AUG. Glad that I was wrong.

One of the things I loved about last nights game? Is the offense went into a semi hurry offense. The defense didn’t get to sit up there and pin their ears back and watch the clock get down to 2 and 1 seconds. Russ kept them on their toes and didn’t know when the ball would be hiked.

[Christopher-dcfv]

So happy for CA3! Glad to see him break out into the player we all knew he had the potential to be when drafted by our beloved Steelers 3 years ago. Speed does in fact kill!

[Zack_Balo]

DK, I love how in your “things you want to see” video, you went out of your way to say that we shouldn’t expect any more from that unit, then Cal goes ahead and does that! Also, makes me feel way better about Roman’s road to recovery.

[TheAlfonsogonzalez]

“Easy Pickens, ” that was timely. 😂 🤙🏽
