Pittsburgh –In their second game against the Cleveland Browns, the Pittsburgh Steelers vowed that it was always a get-right game rather than a get-back game. It went beyond that, as Pittsburgh’s offense destroyed Cleveland even without star wide receiver George Pickens. In the meantime, Jameis Winston’s powerful offense was stifled by the Steelers defense. They contributed to the Steelers’ offensive’s early struggles with two interceptions, but it’s no secret why Pittsburgh’s offense dominated the rest of the game.
Russell Wilson is the answer. Wilson repeatedly demonstrated that even with a basic wide receiver corps, he could get the most out of them, from tossing a sidearmed dot to Van Jefferson on the same drive to scurrying outside the pocket and hitting Pat Freiermuth to ignite a touchdown drive on third-and-10.
Both Scotty Miller and Mike Williams made plays. But they were both off Wilson’s lovely moon balls. With his ability to work with his legs and still have enough energy in his arm to complete the tight window throws, Wilson has discovered the fountain of youth.
His throw up the seam to Pat Freiermuth for a 20-yard touchdown is all you need to look at. Wilson stepped up when the Steelers needed a huge play. His offensive line and running backs both performed admirably, which helped him a little.
Wilson occasionally saved offensive coordinator Arthur Smith, even when he wasn’t playing at his best, by creating plays that just weren’t there. Even if the defense is strong and the Steelers have a distinctive running style, Wilson is the obvious choice for anyone wondering how the team managed to win a postseason game this year.
He appears to be the player who can help the Steelers finally break through their postseason slump.
