In the first nine years of DeAngelo Williams’ career, he had never had a game in which he rushed for at least 100 yards and caught at least another 50 yards through the air. Since joining the Pittsburgh Steelers, he has done so twice, most recently on Sunday as he continues to be one of the few consistently bright lights of this team.
He started off the game with three straight carries, and was only spelled briefly after breaking off a 30-yard run. On the third play of the game, Williams followed his fullback before witnessing an open hole around right guard, punching through the gap, slipping past one defender, and taking off up the sideline.
