Analyst Surprised It Took Steelers Three Years To Discover Darnell Washington

Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks, be joyful and just enjoy life.

That might be hard for the Pittsburgh Steelers to do right now though, as they are in a bit of a free fall on the year. The Steelers have lost four of their last six games, the defense is struggling to consistently stop anyone despite being one of the highest-paid defenses in the NFL, and the offense has no real semblance of a downfield passing attack.

And yet, the Steelers have one thing to be thankful for at this point in the season. For Sports Illustrated’s Conor Orr, that’s third-year tight end Darnell Washington, and the discovery the Steelers offense has had with the big, physical weapon.
