Steelers score in least amount of time to start a season in franchise history

Who said the Steelers' special teams has not improved from last year to this year?

It took exactly three seconds for the Steelers to score two points on a special teams blunder by the Titans.

It was the least amount of time the Steelers have ever taken to score their first points in a regular season game.

Shaun Suisham's poor kick was fielded just in front of the goal line by Titans KR Darius Reynaud, who took a step back into the end zone and downed it, resulting in a safety.

The safety was confirmed upon review, and the Steelers led 2-0 with 14:57 left in the first quarter, plus possession after a free kick.

The Steelers started offensive tackle Kelvin Beachum as the team's second tight end on the first play. They converted a 3rd-and-8 pass from Ben Roethlisberger to Jerricho Cotchery on their first offensive possession.

The Steelers have all six of their previous home openers under head coach Mike Tomlin.
