Perspective Of An Average Steelers Fan: Funky Good Win In Washington

The Pittsburgh Steelers played against the 7-2 Washington Commanders Sunday. Rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels came into this game with just two interceptions. Plus, he averaged 51 yards rushing a game. Washington played without running back Brian Robinson Jr. But Austin Ekeler had a robust 5.6 yards per attempt and a 54-percent successful run rate. He is also a capable receiver. Then there is Terry McLaurin and tight end Zach Ertz, who are receiving targets for Daniels.

Their defense ranked in the top five against the pass, but their rushing defense 29th. And Washington had lost its kicker Austin Seibert, who leads the NFL with 25 field goals, to a hip injury.
