Russell Wilson is boosting the Pittsburgh Steelers passing game to levels they haven’t seen since Ben Roethlisberger hung up his cleats after the 2021 season. With three more touchdowns Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals, Wilson now has ten on the season. That’s the single-season most by a Steelers’ quarterback since Roethlisberger’s retirement.
Prior to Wilson, the previous “best” was QB Kenny Pickett and his seven in the 2022 season. He did that across 13 total games and 12 starts.
Wilson’s first touchdown against the Bengals was a screen to WR George Pickens, who got good blocks and stepped out of a tackle for a 17-yard score.
