The 5-yard touchdown catch Sunday in the 13-6 win over the Denver Broncos for Pittsburgh Steelers’ tight end Darnell Washington was a special moment.
Not only was it his first career touchdown in the NFL, but it was also a chance to send a message to his brother, who serves in the military and is stationed in Washington, D.C.
Turns out, it was also a bit of a play on a celebration made famous in Denver from a past great, too.
After hauling in the touchdown, Washington saluted to the cameras, sending that message to his brother.
