The Pittsburgh Steelers are in a tough spot. They urgently want to win a playoff game for the first time since 2016. They felt like the quarterbacks they had last season weren’t up to the task.

Their hope is that he will recapture his form with the Seattle Seahawks and lead them to postseason wins.
There are two main problems with that. One, Wilson is going to turn 36 during the 2024 NFL season and isn’t the same athletically as he used to be.
