Los Angeles Chargers cornerback Desmond King seemingly played police pursuit against the Pittsburgh Steelers defense.
With two minutes gone by in the 4th quarter, the quick-footed returner received a punt from Jordan Berry. After avoiding two tackles, he went on to find a whole in the Steelers' defense. He then sprinted towards the end-zone with the use of his lightning-quick speed.
As a result, the Chargers scored on a 73-yard return that cut their deficit down to two 21-23. They went on to tie the game a few moments later after their two-point conversion was successful.
It was King's first career punt return touchdown and more impressively he did it in style.

It is just as fitting as the 23-year old plays for the Chargers, who are also known for the nickname āBoltsā.
The Steelers and the Chargers' game is a battle between two teams that are potential playoff contenders. The regular season is approaching its conclusion, and the playoff picture gets clearer as the number of games dwindle.
With a 7-3-1 record, the Steelers currently lead the AFC North and they possess the conference's 4th seed at this point. Only the Baltimore Ravens were a serious threat to them in the division with a 7-5 record.
The Chargers are looking to make the playoffs for the first time since 2013. They hold the second-best record in the AFC West at 8-3. They only trail the Chiefs, who are currently the top seed in the AFC at 10-2.
