Russell Wilson’s TD pass to Mike Williams lifts the Steelers over the Commanders 28-27

Associated Press  

— Anyone who questioned Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin’s switch to Russell Wilson from Justin Fields might be reconsidering the wisdom of the move right about now. Wilson shook off his first interception in 11 months and hit trade-deadline pickup Mike Williams for a 32-yard touchdown with less than 2 1/2 minutes left in the fourth quarter for the quarterback’s third scoring throw Sunday, lifting the Pittsburgh Steelers to a 28-27 comeback victory over Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders. “I’ve seen it a few times on highlights,” Tomlin said of Wilson’s ability to complete the big play, something that helped the QB win one Super Bowl and reach another with the Seattle Seahawks. He also had three carries for 5 yards, his lowest output as a pro, while still dealing with a rib injury that he described as “still there, but it’s nothing that’s holding me back.” As for watching his counterpart Wilson, Daniels observed: “He made plays when the plays needed to be made.” Never more so than on the over-the-shoulder toss to Williams — his only catch of the game — to turn a six-point deficit into a one-point lead for the visitors.
