In hindsight, a Russell Wilson slide would’ve avoided a Russell Wilson fumble contributing to a Pittsburgh Steelers loss. Trying to score at the end of a long scramble, Wilson attempted to cut to the left but was tackled by Baltimore Ravens’ safety Ar’Darius Washington. Wilson lost control of the football on the way down, and the Ravens recovered. While many fans were clamoring for Wilson to get down, former QB Ben Roethlisberger wasn’t one of them.
Sharing his thoughts on the play on the latest episode of his Footbahlin podcast, Roethlisberger said Wilson shouldn’t think about giving himself up if that situation arises again.
