Sikkema Believes Wilson Needs To Heat Up For Steelers To Make Playoff Noise

Let’s not try and sugarcoat it: Pittsburgh Steelers QB Russell Wilson hasn’t played well recently. After coming back from a calf injury scorching hot and leading the team to a four game winning streak, Wilson has lost the magic down the stretch of the season. During the team’s three-game losing streak, he’s averaging just 182 passing yards, one touchdown and a 38.7 QBR. Worst of all, he’s taking bad sacks each week, averaging over three a game during the stretch.
