The Indianapolis Colts weren’t ready for Darnell Washington, despite preparations, and the Bengals didn’t learn from them, but the Bears hope to. After his headline-grabbing game against Cincinnati, Chicago’s defensive coordinator acknowledged that the Steelers’ big tight end has their attention.
“Yeah, absolutely”, Bears DC Dennis Allen said of Darnell Washington, via their website. “He’s a factor when he’s got the ball in his hands, because he’s really athletic, he can run, and he’s tough to get down. When they throw the ball to him, we’re gonna need a lot of hats around the ball”.
Washington might not be putting up Pro Bowl numbers, but he is hard to stop with the ball.
