While the Pittsburgh Steelers scored two impressive TDs through the air last Friday night against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, they did record a rushing touchdown that tends to go unnoticed. That touchdown was scored by RB Anthony McFarland Jr., a guy who has dealt with his fair share of adversity his first few seasons in the league but got his chance in the spotlight Friday as he put Pittsburgh in a comfortable 20-7 lead.
When asked if he enjoyed helping spring RB Anthony McFarland Jr. on his TD run Friday night, Washington mentioned with a laugh that McFarland didn’t actually go to the gap Pittsburgh was trying to block up, but it ended up being the right decision.
