After his first two starts of the season, not everyone was sold on Russell Wilson. People still believed the Pittsburgh Steelers needed to defeat more quality opponents. Wilson had played well, but that was against two of the NFL’s worst teams. The Washington Commanders are one of the league’s best, though, and Wilson still played well Sunday. He led the Steelers to a 28-27 victory, and now perhaps the narrative around them will change. Former Steelers head coach Bill Cowher seems to believe in Wilson.
“I think it was a blessing in disguise to be quite honest with you,” Cowher said after the game of Wilson being injured to start the season via NFL on CBS on Twitter.
