Pat Freiermuth On Russell Wilson-Steelers Fit: ‘We Needed Russ and Russ Needed Us’

The Pittsburgh Steelers made the playoffs in 2023. They’re set to make the playoffs again in 2024, possibly even clinching their berth this weekend. However, there’s one key difference between those two versions of the Steelers. This year’s team looks much more potent offensively, and Russell Wilson has had a big hand in that.

Although the Steelers started the year 4-2 without Wilson, the team has improved since he took over. He’s silenced just about every critic during that stretch and has become an excellent fit with Mike Tomlin, Arthur Smith, and the rest of the offense.
