Mike Wallace busts out of doghouse in big way
Mike Wallace - WR - Pittsburgh Steelers
Dec. 9, 2012 - 5:20 PM ET
Mike Wallace caught seven passes for 112 yards and two touchdowns in the Steelers' Week 14 loss to the Chargers.
Wallace is officially out of coach Mike Tomlin's doghouse. The very first play of the game was a quick screen to Wallace and the targets piled up from there. He did have a trademark drop on a beautifully thrown bomb from a healthy Ben Roethlisberger, but redeemed himself later with a 40-yard score. Wallace's second touchdown came as Big Ben pumped three times to allow his No. 1 wideout to work open in the middle of the end zone from 11 yards out. With Emmanuel Sanders nursing a shoulder issue and fading into the background, we can certainly trust 60 Minutes as a WR3 with serious upside against the Cowboys in Week 15. He led the team with 11 targets Sunday.
