James Washington scores on first catch
A week after being held to just 13.1 percent of Pittsburgh’s offensive snaps and playing five on special teams, last year’s Biletnikoff winner saw the field for 66 offensive plays (80.5 percent).
While he only caught one of his five targets, he made No. 4 count on this somewhat controversial play in the red zone.
