With Russell Wilson in the lineup, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense made big strides. More points, more big plays, more dominance. Those big changes can be credited to the little things Wilson did. He’s a 13-year veteran and a Super Bowl winner capable of handling the intense pressure he faced entering the game. Peyton Manning is one of football’s masters of the details and heaped praise on Wilson for his play-fakes that had the New York Jets guessing if it was a run or pass.
“‘I’m really impressed with his fakes,” Manning said of Wilson on ESPN’s latest edition of ‘The Breakdown’ with Bill Belichick.
