JuJu Smith-Schuster is one fast man.

The Pittsburgh Steelers found themselves pinned down at their own 3-yard line after stuffing the Detroit Lions on fourth-and-goal, but that was all the room Ben Roethlisberger needed to find Smith-Schuster for a 97-yard touchdown catch.

Not only did the play extend the Steelers' lead to 20-12, but it also set the franchise record for longest passing play and tied the franchise record for longest overall play.

Smith-Schuster finished the night with seven receptions for 193 yards and a touchdown as Pittsburgh held on for a 20-15 win to improve to 6-2 on the year.
