One hashtag can create a news story all on its own. After scoring his first touchdown as a Pittsburgh Steeler, and for the season, in Sunday’s win over the Washington Commanders, WR Mike Williams celebrated the moment with an Instagram post that featured the hash tag “Red Line.” Many believed it was a reference and shot at New York Jets QB Aaron Rodgers and his public criticism of Williams not running the “red line” that led to a game-losing interception versus the Buffalo Bills.
While Williams has denied that was the intent, Rodgers was still asked about it in a Wednesday meeting with the New York media.
