During the first quarter of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ game against the New York Jets, Acrisure Stadium sounded like it did during the Kenny Pickett/Matt Canada era as boos rang across the venue. A slow start for QB Russell Wilson and the Pittsburgh offense led to anger from a fan base that was already doubting head coach Mike Tomlin’s decision to start Wilson over QB Justin Fields.
Tomlin and Wilson had the last laugh and turned the jeers into cheers as Wilson and the Steelers rolled in a 37-15 thrashing of the Jets. Although fans were nervous when Pittsburgh went down early and struggled to move the ball, the Steelers’ offense had all the confidence in the world, according to LT Dan Moore Jr.
