When it matters most, Pittsburgh Steelers’ QB Russell Wilson has a history of making the big plays that lead to key wins, whether that’s in his short time in Pittsburgh, during his stop in Denver, or throughout his remarkable career in Seattle.
On Sunday inside NorthWest Stadium against the Washington Commanders, Wilson did just that for the Steelers. Facing a 3rd-and-9 coming out of timeout and trialing 27-21 with just over 2 minutes to go in the game, Wilson dialed up the moon ball.
The veteran quarterback dropped a perfect pass into the bucket to new wide receiver Mike Williams in the crucial spot, connecting on the go-ahead 32-yard touchdown to give the Steelers a 28-27 lead that would ultimately hold up for the win.
