Shortly after the 2024 season came to an end, reports surfaced that Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson and offensive coordinator Arthur Smith did not see eye to eye.

Despite reportedly working late into the night on Friday nights preparing for upcoming games during the 2024 season, Wilson and Smith had a rocky relationship, according to Steelers reporter Mark Kaboly.

Wilson, who started his Pittsburgh tenure on a hot streak under Smith, winning four straight games after taking over in Week 7 against the New York Jets, appeared on The Pat McAfee Show Wednesday and downplayed that report.
