Former Alabama WR Cam Sims helps Washington upset Pittsburgh

The Washington Football Team pulled off the biggest upset of the NFL season on Monday evening, defeating the 11-0 Pittsburgh Steelers in the Steel City.

And one former Alabama wide receiver was a major factor for Washington.

Cam Sims, who played at Alabama from 2014-2017, caught just 41 career passes with the Crimson Tide. However, the third-year pro is having a breakout season for Washington in 2020, and Monday’s win over Pittsburgh was his best moment yet.

Sims caught five passes for 92 yards in Washington’s win, including an outstanding one-handed grab to help his team pull ahead late in the fourth quarter.

While that play made all the highlight shows, Sims had a catch-and-run on Washington’s final drive in the first half that set the team up for its first score.

Sims had another outstanding grab, too.

While Sims certainly doesn’t get the publicity of some of the other outstanding Alabama wideouts in the pros — and still in Tuscaloosa — he is quietly developing into a solid NFL starter for an improving team.
