One long catch against Texans Claypool caught one of his four targets for a 24-yard gain during Sunday's 28-21 win over the Texans. Impact Ben Roethlisberger took a number of deep shots to his rookie wideout during Sunday's win, but it was a screen pass that helped to put the game on ice. Claypool collected a quick toss from Roethlisberger on a third and nine with just over two minutes to go and made two defenders miss as he streaked down the left sideline for a near-touchdown. Following his 88-yard, one-TD performance in Week 2, Claypool's statistical output against the Texans pales in comparison, but at least the rookie was still able to have a meaningful impact during crunch time. He now prepares for a Week 4 matchup against a Titans defense that ranks among the NFL's worst units with 546 receiving yards allowed to opposing WRs.
