Pittsburgh Steelers veteran running back DeAngelo Williams is 33, but he can still undress some of the best and brightest defensive players in the NFL.

Look no further than what DeAngelo Williams just did to Washington Redskins defensive backs David Bruton and Bashaud Breeland to see dominance. Williams split in between both players for a touchdown to give the Pittsburgh Steelers electric offense 31 points, moving Pittsburgh’s lead over Washington to 15 points with his 15-yard touchdown run.

After making a quick move to the outside—something we’ve seen Williams do frequently in his career, particularly as a Steeler—he basically slid in between the defensive backs like he was in a cartoon.

The rest was easy for Williams, who accelerated his way to pay dirt, sending both the Steelers and his fantasy owners a sweet six points.

Williams has been arguably the best player on offense today for either team, chugging out 114 yards on 21 attempts for 5.4 yards per carry. Since joining the Steelers last season as Bell’s backup, Williams has been one of the NFL’s most efficient rushers, and you can only expect that to continue.

Interestingly enough, Williams’s nine targets are second on the team behind Antonio Brown, who already has two touchdown catches to his name with 110 yards of receiving, as he maintains his spot as an underrated safety valve option for Ben Roethlisberger. Williams may not be the NFL’s most decorated pass-catching back (the honor could go to his suspended teammate Bell), but he definitely gets the job done.

And when you give it to him on the ground, well, he can make something special happen. Bruton is a special teams ace and an underrated safety and Breeland is one of the best run-stopping CBs, but neither had an answer for Williams on that play.
