description

Against professional football’s greatest minds, sometimes, it helps to have the superior scheme, or even blazing speed and athleticism; at others, advantageous matchups and execution is all one requires. Proving the latter to be true from an out wide, receiver-like alignment, Darnell Washington — backed by a noticeable size advantage against a 5-foot-10 safety — used both his 6-foot-7 frame and timing to adjust to a back-shoulder toss, securing his NFL career’s first score. Owner of the game’s lone touchdown during the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 13-6 win over the Denver Broncos on Sept. 15, 2024, Washington’s one-catch, five-yard, one-touchdown effort proved key in moving the Men of Steel to a 2-0 start.
