Mike Williams caught a 32-yard touchdown pass with 2:22 left in the game and the visiting Pittsburgh Steelers rallied for a 28-27 win against the Washington Commanders on Sunday in Landover, Md.
It was the first catch as a Steeler for Williams, who was recently acquired by the team. The touchdown grab capped an improbable comeback for the Steelers, who found themselves trailing 27-21 late in the fourth quarter.
With the win, the Steelers improved their record and moved into a tie for first place in their division. The Commanders, on the other hand, suffered a disappointing loss and fell to a record that puts them at risk of falling out of playoff contention.
The Steelers started the game strong, jumping out to an early lead behind a balanced offense. However, the Commanders were able to fight back and take control of the game in the second half.
A late surge by the Steelers offense, led by quarterback P.J. Walker, helped the team regain the lead. Walker connected with Williams for the game-winning touchdown pass, sending the Steelers' bench into a frenzy.
Williams, a veteran wide receiver, has played for several teams throughout his career. He was picked up by the Steelers in the hopes that he could provide a spark for the team's offense. On Sunday, he delivered in a big way.
The Steelers will look to build on their momentum next week when they take on a tough opponent. The Commanders, meanwhile, will try to regroup and refocus in an effort to turn their season around.
The loss was a tough one for the Commanders, but the team remains optimistic about its chances this season. Despite the setback, the Commanders are still within striking distance of a playoff spot and will look to bounce back strong in their next game.
