Let's get to it:
ALEX HATCHWELL FROM ALDERGROVE, BC, CANADA: I believe Louis Lipps scored 3 touchdowns in his first game with the Steelers. I also recall he had over 200 receiving yards that day. Is either true, and if so, where does it rank in NFL lore for rookies?
ANSWER: Louis Lipps entered the NFL as the No. 1 pick (23rd overall) in the 1984 NFL Draft from Southern Mississippi, and his regular season debut came against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sept. 2 at Three Rivers Stadium. Lipps was not a starter that day – John Stallworth and Calvin Sweeney started at WR along with TE Bennie Cunningham, RBs Walter Abercrombie and Frank Pollard, and QB David Woodley. The Steelers lost that game, 37-27
