Russell Wilson, George Pickens put the Steelers up 7-0

Steelers wide receiver George Picken’s production has picked up since Russell Wilson took over as the team’s quarterback, and the duo connected for another big play in the first quarter at Washington on Sunday.

Wilson lofted a ball in the end zone and Pickens went up to grab it while falling backward. Pickens secured the ball and the 16-yard touchdown lifted the Steelers to a 7-0 lead with just over six minutes left on the clock.

The touchdown drive started at Pittsburgh’s 30-yard line and was aided by a pair of Commanders penalties that totaled 29 yards. They also got 25 rushing yards from Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren.

The Steelers went three and out on their first drive and the Commanders did the same with their first offensive chance.
