More recently, Pickens did this against the Bengals:

That’s a huge throw and catch for a Steelers offense that desperately needs a spark.
At the half, Pickens has two catches for 44 yards as the Steelers lead the Colts, 16-3. In addition to the circus catch above, Pickens nearly hauled in a one-handed snag for a touchdown in the corner of the end zone on the Steelers’ final drive of the half.
No dice.
