The newest Steeler had the biggest catch of the season for Pittsburgh
The Pittsburgh Steelers had their biggest win of the season in Week 10, defeating the 7-2 Washington Commanders on the road after being down 10 points in the second half. The play that put them in front for good was a 32-yard touchdown pass from Russell Wilson to Mike Williams in the latter’s first game, and first catch, as a Steeler. Pittsburgh acquired the veteran deep threat in a trade with the New York Jets ahead of last Tuesday’s trade deadline in exchange for a fifth-round pick, and Williams seemed to be trolling the Jets and his former quarterback Aaron Rodgers in his latest Instagram post.
Williams posted a photo of him celebrating after the touchdown with the “I love you” hand emoji next to a snake. Rodgers routinely does that hand gesture, so perhaps Williams is insinuating that Rodgers was a backstabber. He also included the hashtag “#RedLine” which was a phrase Rodgers used after he threw an interception against the Buffalo Bills on a pass that was intended for Williams. Rodgers says that play was the “red line” that separated the Jets chances of winning the game and not having a chance to do so.

It’s pretty evident that Williams is happy to be out of New York and in Pittsburgh.
