The Pittsburgh Steelers were active at the trade deadline, and those of you who wanted instant gratification for those moves didn’t have to wait long. Both WR Mike Williams and OLB Preston Smith made their presence known in the down-to-the-wire, 28-27 win over the Washington Commanders.
On a day when the passing game was struggling to get into rhythm, Williams provided the big play that the Steelers had in mind when they acquired him. It was the go-ahead score in the fourth quarter. Pro Football Focus had him down for just nine total snaps on offense, yet he was able to haul in his one target for 32 yards and a touchdown.
