Steelers' rookie Kaleb Johnson muffs kickoff return, terrible error results in Seahawks touchdown

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kaleb Johnson looked like every bit the NFL rookie with an egregious error that cost his team dearly.

Receiving the kickoff after the Seattle Seahawks took a 17-14 lead on a field goal, Johnson let the ball bounce through his hands and into the end zone. However, the rookie apparently didn't realize that's a live ball under NFL rules and the Seahawks' George Holani recovered the muffed kickoff for a touchdown.

The turnover gave Seattle a 24-14 lead with 12:46 remaining in the fourth quarter, swinging the score by 10 points in approximately six seconds run off the clock.
