The Pittsburgh Steelers needed a first down last in Sunday’s game to seal the win over the Washington Commanders. The team was facing a fourth and one at midfield and the Steelers trotted out there to get it.
But the way the Steelers got the first down and finished the game was not by running a play. Instead, the team rushed to the line of scrimmage like they were prepared to sneak it and then using a hard count, quarterback Russell Wilson drew rookie defensive tackle Johnny Newton offsides.
As great as the play was, it was the celebration dance by Wilson that is going viral on the internet.

Wilson has proven to be the perfect quarterback for the Steelers. He’s given this group a level of play this team has missed since the retirement of Ben Roethlisberger and Sunday’s win put the entire NFL on notice that this isn’t a team to be taken lightly anymore.
