Finally. That's the word Oklahoma State fans were saying Thursday night when former Cowboy receiver James Washington was targeted by Ben Roethlisberger multiple times in the same game.

The Steelers trailed 29-0 in the third quarter before Roethlisberger finally started to look Washington’s way. Washington finished the game with a season-high four receptions for 65 yards, the second highest yardage total for him this season, and a touchdown, just his second of the season.

The touchdown came on an impressive 30-yard catch early in the 4th quarter to get the game back within single digits.

Washington is now sitting with 249 yards and two touchdowns on 21 catches.

I hope this game shows Roethlisberger and Tomlin what kind of production and success the Steelers have when they finally decide to throw Washington’s way.
