Although they were missing George Pickens Sunday, the Pittsburgh Steelers still had an acceptable passing attack against the Cleveland Browns. Multiple pass catchers stepped up, but Russell Wilson deserves a lot of credit too. In the past, the Steelers’ offense likely would’ve crumbled without its No. 1 receiver. That wasn’t the case in Week 14, and much of that is thanks to Wilson’s continued resurgence. He’s likely earned himself a big payday after this season, but Richard Sherman, his former teammate, believes he won’t bleed the Steelers dry.
“The way this team has embraced him, the way he’s changed himself to fit this culture, and to really step in and help this team the way he has, he’s gonna deserve the money he can ask for,” Sherman said recently on his podcast.
