Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kenneth Gainwell made an insane catch along the sidelines to tie the game with just seconds left to go in the first half.

This was Gainwell’s eighth touchdown on the season and it could not have come at a better time. The Steelers are on a two game win streak and currently sit in first place in the AFC North and are looking to clinch the division. On the other hand, the Detroit Lions are looking to bounce back following their most recent game which was a 41-34 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on December 14th.

If the Steelers were to win today, it would make it their ninth win of the season and guarantee another winning season for head coach Mike Tomlin, who has not had a losing season as head coach of the steelers since he was hired back in 2007.
