Pat Freiermuth Lauds Russell Wilson’s Leadership Despite Poor Offensive Showing

Excitement was high entering last night’s game for the Pittsburgh Steelers and their offense. QB Russell Wilson was making his Steelers debut, and it was the first time we were going to see (basically) a fully healthy first-team offense. However, it did not go as hoped, with the first-team offense in particular getting shredded by the Buffalo Bills’ defense.

There were no positives to take from Saturday night’s offensive performance from a play perspective, but there could be in the leadership department. After the game Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth talked with reporters and spoke about how while the offense wasn’t as strong as he had hoped in Wilson’s first Steelers game, the nine-time Pro Bowler’s leadership was top notch.
