I couldn’t even wait to save this all for our Monday morning Stats of the Weird. Which, don’t worry, is definitely still being posted. But QB Russell Wilson was remarkable in the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 44-38 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. So good that he deserves his own posts of de facto stats of the weird.
So let’s count the ways Wilson dominated on Sunday and how rare some of the numbers he put up have been in Pittsburgh.
– Wilson finished the day with 414 yards and three touchdowns. He becomes just the third quarterback in Steelers’ history to have such a regular-season performance, joining Ben Roethlisberger (who did it five times) and Tommy Maddox in the team’s 34-34 tie against the Atlanta Falcons in 2002.
