The highlights keep on rolling, as the Pittsburgh Steelers saw huge tight end Darnell Washington running through Cincinnati Bengals defenders like ragdolls in Week 3.
Facing a second-and-10 with around 3 minutes remaining in the first quarter, the Steelers needed to get to the 36-yard line for a first down. Aaron Rodgers hooked up with Washington just five yards short of the line to gain, but the massive tight end broke free from not just one, not just two, not just three, but four Bengals defenders en route to a first down.
Fans can check out the insane play themselves down below, where Washington reminded the NFL that he may be the toughest pass catcher to tackle.

Washington, who was drafted by the Steelers with the 93rd overall pick in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft, has appeared in 52 career games and made 31 starts. He's recorded 650 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Measuring in at 6-foot-7 and possibly 300-plus pounds, Washington is also one of the best blocking tight ends in the league. But Washington has proven over the past few seasons that he's more than a blocker; he can change the game with yards after the catch.
