Can Russell Wilson Silence Doubters As Steelers’ Starting QB Vs. Lions?

Can Russell Wilson silence doubters as the Steelers’ starting quarterback versus the Lions?

The Steelers have faced questions about who their starting quarterback would be long before they signed Russell Wilson. Indeed, pundits actively debated the subject last year before the season even ended. Of course, at the time, many expected a battle between Kenny Pickett and Mason Rudolph.

Now Pickett is vying for the backup job in Philadelphia and Rudolph is doing the same in Tennessee. The Steelers now have Russell Wilson and Justin Fields, but locally, everybody has always maintained that it’s Russell Wilson all the way.
