Steelers laud 'quick study' Mike Williams after late TD catch

LANDOVER, Md -- Trailing by six in the fourth quarter Sunday with time and opportunity evaporating, Mike Williams lined up for his ninth snap as a Pittsburgh Steeler.

Set up wide to the left of quarterback Russell Wilson, the wide receiver released and ran a go route toward the end zone. And as he's done so many times in his career, Wilson corralled the snap and let it fly.

His first attempt to Williams, acquired from the Jets at the trade deadline just five days ago, dropped perfectly over the wide receiver's right shoulder -- and the trailing defensive back -- and into Williams' arms for the go-ahead touchdown with two minutes and 22 seconds remaining the Steelers' eventual 28-27 win against the Washington Commanders.
