With basically just four days to prepare for his debut in a Steelers uniform, WR Mike Williams was understandably eased into things with a very minor role in the game plan. Mike Tomlin told Bob Labriola before the game via the Steelers website that receivers can be ready in certain scenarios that don’t necessitate a complete knowledge of the playbook.
“In areas of the game where their special skills are heightened, those situational moments, they’ll be ready to rock and roll,” Tomlin told Labriola.
