Watch: James Washington Breaks a Tackle, Goes 50 Yards for TD

The Pittsburgh Steelers and Washington’s football team got things off to an early start, as Part 1 of a rare Monday night double-header. While most of America had yet to even get off work, James Washington was putting in work.

The Biletnikoff winner extended the Steelers’ lead in the second quarter with this impressive catch, tackle-break and score. Brings back memories.

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger recently showed support for his third-year wideout, and it’s easy to see why.

Ben Roethlisberger has wanted to get James Washington more involved in the passing game. Good connection so far with two catches for 80 yards on three targets.

And that wasn’t even his first big play of the night. In the first quarter, Big Ben found Washington for this nice 30-yard gain after he stutter-stepped past a Washington defender.
