Washington's big gains came from Steelers exploiting screen-play tendencies.

Washington found success against the Browns when Pittsburgh broke tendencies. The Steelers ran the same play twice that resulted in big gains for their tight end, beating Schwesinger both times. Washington is typically used as a blocker on wide receiver screens, but on these plays the Steelers set up what looked like WR screens before Washington leaked out instead for significant gains.
