LANDOVER, MD - The Steelers' trades for wide receiver Mike Williams and linebacker Preston Smith weren't supposed to necessarily pay dividends for the team this week.
But nobody told Williams that.
Williams caught a 32-yard touchdown pass from Russell Wilson with just over two minutes remaining in the game Sunday here at Northwest Stadium, lifting the Steelers to a 28-27 win over the Washington Commanders.
Wilson threw three touchdown passes as the Steelers improved to 7-2. The Steelers remain in first place in the AFC North heading into next Sunday's game at Acrisure Stadium against the Ravens (6-3). Washington falls to 7-3.
The Steelers improved to 26-6 under head coach Mike Tomlin against rookie quarterbacks and also have now won their past eight games coming out of a bye week. The Steelers are 14-4 under Tomlin coming out of a bye week.
The Steelers consistently pressured rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, sacking him three times -- two by Cam Heyward -- and hitting him six times while recording eight tackles for a loss.
Daniels finished 17 of 34 for 202 yards and was limited to five rushing yards on three carries.
"You can't come into a hostile environment against good people and not be aggressive," said Tomlin. "We're not going to live in our fears. That's just how we get down."
The Steelers struck first after the two teams traded punts on three-and-outs to start the game.

Taking advantage of a 14-yard pass interference penalty and another for roughing the passer, the Steelers drove 70 yards to score on a 16-yard touchdown pass from Wilson to George Pickens.
Wilson completed 14 of 28 passes for 195 yards and three touchdowns with one interception.
Pickens had one-on-one coverage on the play, with cornerback Noah Igbinoghene playing him to the outside. Wilson threw the ball to the inside and Pickens adjusted in midair to make the reception for a 7-0 lead.
The Steelers quickly got the ball back after another three-and-out, but Wilson was sacked on second down and after a third-down run, they lined up to punt from their own 14.
Just before the snap, Washington's jammer on the outside against James Pierre left him to rush the punt. The ball instead was snapped to Miles Killebrew, who lofted a pass toward Pierre. But Pierre was unable to haul the pass in and the Steelers turned the ball over on downs.
"That is me," Tomlin said. "I'll own that. I'll do it again. But we didn't execute it, so it was a bad idea."
That proved critical as three plays later, Austin Ekeler scored on a 1-yard plunge to tie the game at 7-7.
The Steelers, however, would turn a Washington special teams miscue into an easy score in the second quarter, as Olamide Zaccheaus muffed a punt inside his own 20 and Ben Skworonek, activated off of IR on Saturday, fell on the loose ball at the Washington 14.
That set up a 3-yard touchdown pass from Wilson to tight end Pat Freiermuth for a 14-7 lead for the Steelers.
Washington answered with a scoring drive of its own, benefitting from a 23-yard pass interference penalty on Joey Porter to set up a 48-yard field goal from Zane Gonzalez, signed off the practice squad Saturday, to cut the Steelers' lead to 14-10.
Washington got the ball back late in the first half at its own 6. But the Steelers weren't able to keep them pinned deep, as Porter was called for a facemask while in coverage on a play on which Alex Highsmith had sacked Daniels.
Instead of being inside their own 10, Washington moved out to their own 31 following the penalty, and the Commanders took advantage, going 94 yards on 15 plays to score on Ekeler's second 1-yard TD run of the half.
The 77 offensive yards gained by Washington on the possession gave the Commanders 113 total in the first half.
The Commanders would add to that total to open the second half in a big way, as Terry McLaurin caught a quick slant on the opening play of the third quarter and ran down the middle of the Pittsburgh defense for a 54-yard gain before being tracked down by Porter.
That set up a 1-yard touchdown run by Jeremy McNichols that gave Washington a 24-14 lead just over two minutes into the second half. It was the first touchdown and points allowed by the Steelers in the third quarter this season.
The Steelers answered that score with one of their own, as Jaylen Warren converted a third-and-8 play with a 34-yard catch-and-run to set up a 1-yard Najee Harris touchdown run to cut the Washington lead to 24-21 midway through the third quarter.
The Steelers forced a three-and-out on Washington's next possession, but got the ball back inside their own 10 and were unable to generate a first down, punting the ball back to the Commanders at the Pittsburgh 42.
That resulted in a 41-yard Gonzalez field goal that gave the Commanders a 27-21 lead with 2:45 remaining in the third quarter.
The Steelers appeared to be driving for a go-ahead score, with Warren running hard, but he fumbled at the end of a 7-yard run to the 1 while fighting to get into the end zone and Washington recovered with 7:05 remaining in the game.
The Steelers, however, forced a punt and got the ball back at the Washington 46.
On third-and-9 from the 32, Wilson took the snap and lofted the ball to the front corner of the end zone for Williams, who had played just a handful of snaps to that point.
Williams hauled in the pass over his shoulder against cornerback Benjamin St.-Juste to give the Steelers a 28-27 lead with 2:22 remaining in the game.
"Russ, he told me to go over there and run a route and put the ball up for me," said Williams.
The Steelers then got pass breakups from T.J. Watt and Pierre before tight end Zach Ertz was tackled just short of a first down by Minkah Fitzpatrick and Damonte Kazee to turn the ball over on downs to the Steelers at their own 42.
Wilson then got the Commanders to jump offside on fourth-and-1, allowing the Steelers to take a knee to finish off the game.
"We didn't have a play called," said center Zach Frazier. "All we were doing was breaking the huddle and trying to sell like we were going to sneak it. We broke the huddle and sprinted to the ball and Russ got them with the hard count."
