"Terrell Davis. Jamaal Charles. Curt Warner. Larry Johnson. Those are just a handful of the many, many running backs who have fewer career rushing yards than DeAngelo Williams. Now in his 11th season, 33-year-old Williams is just 71 yards from leapfrogging Garrison Hearst and becoming a top-50 rusher all-time. He has been a godsend for the Steelers during Le'Veon Bell's repeated absences from the lineup.​"

"Statement game from the Steelers on the first stanza of Monday night's double-dip. Please allow for us to spotlight one player: DeAngelo Williams. The dude is absolutely amazing. He rushed for 143 yards, including 73 in the fourth quarter, and pulled off the sickest move between two defenders you'll ever see. What a pro. Meanwhile, part of being a powerful team is winning with depth, thus the leapfrog over the Seahawks."

"If you forgot how good Antonio Brown was, let a 126-yard, two-touchdown Monday night performance serve as a reminder. Look for Brown to have another big game in Week 2 against the division rival that ended his season early with a hit to the head last postseason."
