‘He Is The Guy’: Chris Long A Believer In Russell Wilson Moving Forward For Steelers

At the time of the change at quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers, who went from Justin Fields to Russell Wilson despite being 4-2 entering Week 7, there was a lot of criticism for head coach Mike Tomlin regarding the move, and questions about Wilson being able to play at a winning level coming off a calf injury.

Three games later, the Steelers look like legitimate Super Bowl contenders with Wilson under center. The offense is scoring 30.3 points per game, the deep ball is back and Wilson is cooking with gas under offensive coordinator Arthur Smith.

So far, it seems like the right decision for Tomlin to turn to Wilson.
