Moye

Moye played just the one snap. He was put in the game to run a fade to the corner and catch a jump ball for the score in the second quarter. It was the first catch of the 6-foot-4, 209-pound former Nittany Lion’s career.

Big Ben requested the three young receivers to travel to the West Coast so that he could get a better feel for them. “It was really about (Roethlisberger) getting a feel for some of us a little bit more,” Moye said. “We ran some different routes that he wanted to work with us individually on.” Wheaton could see his snaps increase dramatically if the Steelers fail to re-sign one or both of Emmanuel Sanders and Jerricho Cotchery, who are free agents.

Brett Keisel returns for Week 13. Woodley is still injured, robbing the Steelers’ of easily their best pass rusher. McLendon’s loss due to a multi-week ankle injury affects Pittsburgh’s run defense at nose tackle.

Moye nearly cost the Steelers the game when he dropped a perfectly thrown ball from Ben Roethlisberger in the corner of the end zone. Luckily for him, Ben led the team back down the field for a game-winning field goal as time expired. Moye, a lanky former undrafted free agent out of Penn State, now has two catches for 20 yards on the season.
