Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin allowed Russell Wilson to cook on Sunday night, and cook he did. He set a franchise record in his Steelers debut with the most passing yards in a player’s first game with the team, via Brooke Pryor of ESPN, besting the mark set by Earl Morrall in 1957 of 249 yards.
Russell Wilson now has 264 passing yards on the 36-yard completion to Calvin Austin III, giving him the most passing yards by a quarterback in their first game with the Steelers in franchise history. https://t.co/46zbiuWWem
