The Pittsburgh Steelers are sitting at 6-2, and despite a tough second half of their schedule, they’re in a good position to make the playoffs. The offense has taken a step forward over the last two games with Russell Wilson under center, and former NFL QB Cam Newton thinks that Wilson is out to prove he can win without the famed Seattle “Legion of Boom” defense.
“It’s almost like Russell Wilson is fighting a monster that not a lot of people are mentioning. He’s on that Kobe [Bryant] win without Shaq [O’Neal] trajectory of his career,” Newton said on ESPN’s First Take today.
