Last week was a disappointment for James Washington, inactive for the first time all season. The writing was on the wall. Justin Hunter got the nod to close out the Cincinnati Bengals game, threw a key block on Antonio Brown’s game-winning touchdown, and was talked up all week by Ben Roethlisberger.
But, as the CBS broadcast noted during the week, last Sunday against Cleveland may have been Hunter’s last shot. He responded with a typical but quiet two catch, 15 yard performance. So it’s no surprise that this week might be Washington’s chance to stay ahead for good.
