Mike Williams played just nine snaps in his Pittsburgh Steelers debut, but that’s all he needed to make a difference. With the Steelers facing 3rd and long, they sent him down the red line, and Russell Wilson hit him in the end zone. While he didn’t face an extraordinary degree of difficulty, he made the appropriate adjustment and scored the game-winning touchdown.

Appearing on the DVE Morning Show Tuesday, former Steelers QB Charlie Batch praised Williams’ performance amid tumultuous circumstances. The Steelers had just acquired Mike Williams from the New York Jets ahead of the trade deadline.
