Two veterans at the job, QB Russell Wilson couldn’t be happier than to be in Pittsburgh working side by side with Mike Tomlin. Many head coaches would’ve kept the status quo and stuck with QB Justin Fields when the Steelers were 4-2 with the whole world wanting Fields to remain the starter. Tomlin made the change to Wilson, putting the Steelers in another tier and elevating them as AFC contenders.
Speaking to reporters Thursday, Wilson had high praise for Tomlin.
“When you think about Coach Tomlin. I think first of all of his motivation, his embracing of each player, each coach, each person in the organization,” Wilson said via a team-provided transcript.
