It doesn’t matter who the opponent is, if they are 7-2 and at home, it is still going to be a hostile environment. The Washington Commanders have a historic fan base that has been through the wringer over the last decade. Now that Jayden Daniels has brought hope back to the franchise, they are going to be supporting their team in a big way. But that didn’t stop Steeler Nation from showing up in a big way in Pittsburgh’s 28-27 win Sunday at Northwest Stadium.

“These fans are amazing. It’s a great atmosphere. I played here [in Washington] a few times and it’s one of the toughest places to play,” Wilson told Evan Washburn on the CBS Sports broadcast after the game.
