‘It’s A Little Big Ben’: Cowherd Says Russell Wilson Has Brought The Deep Ball Back To Pittsburgh

On Sunday, Pittsburgh Steelers QB Russell Wilson did something that no Steelers quarterback has done since Ben Roethlisberger. When he found new WR Mike Williams for the game-winning score, Wilson threw his third touchdown of the game. No Steelers quarterback since Roethlisberger had accomplished that feat until Wilson did so against the Washington Commanders.

Since taking over as the Steelers’ starting quarterback, Wilson has thrown six touchdown passes versus one interception and run in another touchdown. The offense as a whole has looked better than it has in years as well. So despite the differences in stature, Colin Cowherd is invoking Roethlisberger’s name when discussing Wilson and the Steelers’ offense.
