2. Martavis Bryant
Six weeks was well worth the wait for Steelers fans.
Martavis Bryant made an immpediate impact in his return to the field and was the main reason why Pittsburgh was able to pull away in the second half. He scored two touchdowns, both of which were not plays that most wide receivers even at this level are able to make.
First he reeled in a beauty by Landry Jones and had the presence of mind to get both feet inbounds at the back of the endzone:

Watch him embarrass Arizona’s entire defense on this epic 88 yard run. He ran 130 total yards on the play and still had the energy to backflip into the endzone:

Now you know why they call him the alien. That’s an otherworldly kind of athleticism.
If the Steelers can get both Bryant and Antonio Brown going at the same time they’re going to be a real serious contender come December.
