Watch: Calvin Austin blows past Ravens for TD

Following every NFL game in 2025, Steel City Underground parses the best plays from the Pittsburgh Steelers to highlight for Steelers Nation fans to rewatch, complete with what led up to the big play(s).

The game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens in Week 18 –  the final game of the 2025 NFL regular season – on Sunday Night Football did not disappoint. And, when the Steelers scored on a deep pass late in the fourth quarter, fans were holding their breath.

Pittsburgh started their final offensive drive from their own 35. On 1st & 10, Aaron Rodgers connected with receiver Calvin Austin for a 16-yard gain. That connection may have very well set up the final play for the touchdown.

After an 8-yard pass to Adam Thielen following the 2-minute warning, Rodgers hit Kenneth Gainwell short left and let the running back gain yards after the catch.

On 1st & 2nd down at the BAL 26, Rodgers’ passes fell incomplete. The tension was palpable. Then, with 0:55 left in the game, Rodgers uncorked the genie from the bottle on 3rd down and hit Austin in-stride, over the top of a Ravens defender who slipped as Austin made a move, for a 26-yard catch and run for a touchdown. Austin’s speed as he blew past the defender gave Rodgers a huge window to put the ball into.
