Jonathan Dwyer had 107 yards rushing in the Pittsburgh Steelers' 27-12 win over the Redskins.

Dwyer has produced two 100-yard performances in two starts and three in 13 NFL games.

Dwyer is averaging 6.7 yards per carry in his two starts. 

Rashard Mendenhall (Achilles) and Isaac Redman (ankle) have been sidelined the past two weeks.

"He's answered the call and taken advantage of opportunity," Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said. "That's what we expect from all of our young people. He did the job today, but obviously, I read his name here when I talked about the list of injuries. So, I'm not going to speak too soon on that. We'll check the totality of all of the people involved and the healthy guys get the opportunities next week." 

Dwyer has an excellent combination of power and quickness.
