In the second quarter of Sunday’s game between the Indianapolis Colts and the Pittsburgh Steelers at Lucas Oil Stadium, second-year Steelers’ tight end Darnell Washington put together a rather jaw-dropping display of strength and athleticism.
On a 20-yard catch-and-run, Washington stiff-armed Colts’ linebacker E.J. Speed to the turf. He then hurdled Colts’ safety Nick Cross, putting himself onto SportsCenter and making highlight reels across the social media landscape in the days ahead.
Though Speed wasn’t on the wrong end of the hurdle from the 6-foot-7, 265-pound Darnell Washington, he was on the wrong end of a mean stiff-arm that sent him tumbling to the turf.
