The Pittsburgh Steelers improved to 6-4 this week, defeating the Cincinnati Bengals 34-12. The defense rightfully deserves much of the praise, allowing just 297 yards and scoring two touchdowns. The offense was nothing to write home about overall, but they made the plays needed to help take the pressure off the defense.
Backup running back Kenneth Gainwell had a huge day as a receiver, with seven receptions for 81 yards and two touchdowns. But no player on the offense had as big an impact as big-bodied tight end Darnell Washington.
Washington set a new career high with 67 yards on four receptions against the Bengals.
