CBS sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson added context to the moment during the broadcast, explaining the series of events from her point of view.

“I was watching it and (Metcalf) came over because the fan in the stands was holding a No. 4 Pittsburgh jersey. He went over and the fan said something to him," Wolfson explained.

Even while being taken to the ground, Gainwell hauled it in and was not touched, allowing him to sprint into the end zone for the tying score with two seconds remaining in the half.
