The Pittsburgh Kick Steelers return Kaleb Johnson suffered an unfortunate error in the team’s team match against Seattle Seahawks on Sunday afternoon.
Seahawks, Jason Myers, launched the Steelers ball after taking the lead on a basket in the fourth quarter. Johnson did not align the ball and rather let it bounce back into the goal area. Seahawks players ran into the goals and recovered the ball for a touchdown.

Seattle has expanded its advance in what will probably be the easiest touch they mark all year round.
The Steelers kicked a basket on their next training, but it was the Seahawks, Kenneth Walker III, who hit the dagger with a 19 yards touchdown.
Seattle won the match, 31-17.
“I just made a mistake,” said Johnson to journalists after the match, via ESPN. “I have to stick to it, move on and continue to improve every day.”

Steelers’ head coach Mike Tomlin wrote “a bad judgment of a young player”.
Pittsburgh selected Johnson in the third round of the Iowa draft. He received a precipitated attempt against New York Jets last week. He did not have the touch of attack on the Seahawks.
“I just have to improve myself every day,” added Johnson. “That’s all. That’s all I have to say about it. … I just have to go there every day now, and work my hardest, now even more with a chip on my shoulder.”
The launch rules of the NFL indicate that any ball that has given a kick in the landing area between the 20 yards line and the goal line must be returned or shot down unless it is a live ball. Johnson refused to say if he knew the rule.

George Holani of Seattle was credited with the touch.
