BALTIMORE — Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson saw the green grass in front of him, with the end zone within reach, and took off running. The 36-year-old signal caller scampered for 19 yards to move the ball inside the 5-yard line.
The proposed deal would make sense for both sides. A three-year, $100 million extension would give Wilson the security he’s earned while allowing the Steelers flexibility in building their roster. But has Wilson’s performance demonstrated he’s more than a stopgap solution?
It was the first of two game-changing turnovers from Wilson Saturday. He finished 22-for-33 for 217 yards and two touchdowns as the Steelers suffered a second straight defeat in five days after losing to the Philadelphia Eagles, 27-13, on Dec. 15.
After a tough loss to the Ravens, Russell Wilson delivers a powerful message to his Steelers teammates, reminding them that all is not lost.
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ 34-17 loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday pretty much boiled down to two plays, both of which were Russell Wilson mishaps.
While the 36-year-old quarterback can't gamble on the game, doubling-down on his wife of eight years is a safe bet. Wilson and "Goodies" singer share four children together, and the family regularly attends his Steelers matchups.
Lamar Jackson and the Ravens marched down the field following the turnover, capping off the 96-yard drive with a touchdown pass to WR Rashod Bateman, putting Baltimore up a touchdown midway through the second quarter. Both kickers traded field goals late in the first half, making the score 17-10 going into halftime.
That was the case recently when Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson was asked about his future in Pittsburgh. During the latest "Hard Knocks" episode, the cameras captured Wilson signing autographs during the opening of a Why Not You Foundation center in Pittsburgh.
Tom Brady continues to show Lamar Jackson love. Pundit thinks Derrick Henry has proven he can get the Ravens over the hump.
There's a slim chance that the Pittsburgh Steelers could be in the market for a quarterback in 2025, when both Russell Wilson and Justin Fields are free agents. As a result, one NFL analyst believes the Steelers could be a landing spot for a $180 million quarterback who is expected to be available in free agency.
