Rewind to the 2022 and 2023 seasons, and the Pittsburgh Steelers repeated the same mistake in back-to-back years. They named a quarterback the offensive captain who went on to be benched later in the season.
Especially last year that became an issue as the offense was notably lacking leadership. So much so that it was a national headline for two or three weeks in December when the Steelers went on their three-game losing streak.
The Steelers named Russell Wilson their offensive captain this season, and Emmanuel Acho is worried that history might repeat itself.
“I got a huge issue with it,” Acho said via FS1’s new show The Facility on Tuesday morning.
