‘We Stepped Up To The Plate Today’: Russell Wilson Pleased With Steelers’ Offense Blocking Out The ‘Noise’

Coming out of the ugly 9-3 preseason loss to the Buffalo Bills last Saturday, there was quite a bit of noise — in a negative way — regarding the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense.

Much of that criticism centered on the Steelers’ offensive line, which struggled to protect quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Justin Fields. The Steelers couldn’t run the ball, couldn’t pass protect and really couldn’t do much of anything.

That led to quite a bit of talk about the starting quarterback job, questions about Arthur Smith being the right answer at offensive coordinator for the Steelers, and more throughout the last week.
