The league notes Warren became the sixth player in league history and the first in 40 seasons with a receiving touchdown of at least 80 yards and a rushing touchdown of at least 50 yards in the same game. Jim Brown, Gale Sayers, Harmon Wages, Herschel Walker, and Delvin Williams are the previous players to accomplish the feat.
It's Warren's first offensive player of the week award and he's the first Steelers player to earn the honor since Ben Roethlisberger in Week 10 of the 2020 season.
The Steelers will be on the road to face the Buccaneers in Week 6.
