Going Off-Script: TE Darnell Washington ‘Got Hyped Up’ For RB Anthony McFarland Jr.’s TD

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.
