Russell Wilson didn’t have the prettiest performance Sunday in Washington. Completing exactly half his passes, held to under 200 yards, throwing a pick, getting sacked three times. But a win is a win. And three touchdown passes count all the same. For 31 other teams, that isn’t much of a headline. In Pittsburgh, it’s a celebration.
With his performance, Wilson becomes the first Steelers QB to throw for three touchdowns since Ben Roethlisberger on Dec. 9, 2021. That’s a span of 1,067 days and 48 games, including the team’s two postseason losses since then.
To put that in perspective, it was the infamous Chase Claypool “signal first down” game, proved to the beginning of the end of his career.
