CincinnatiAfter the Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the Cincinnati Bengals, quarterback Russell Wilson became a member of the most exclusive club in the team’s history. Wilson set the record for passing yards between the numbers in his career in addition to recording 414 passing yards and three touchdowns.
But only two quarterbacks in Steelers history have been able to match that stat line. Naturally, Ben Roethlisberger accomplished this feat five times throughout his Pittsburgh tenure. Tommy Maddox did the same in the meantime.

For Wilson, who had his most throwing yards in a game since 2019, it is a really amazing statistic. Wilson has thrown for over 400 yards just three times in his career, which is the second-highest total he has ever had in a single game.
To Wilson’s credit, the offense of the Steelers was flawless. Checkdowns and screens were effective, but the Steelers also made big plays over the top and to the center of the field, led by a resolute Wilson.
These stats completed a huge game for Wilson and gave the Steelers their first game with 40 or more points and 500 or more total yards since 2018.
