Markus Wheaton had his best day on a football field Sunday. More yards in a game than in the NFL, college, and even high school. It was a well-deserved today for a player who had struggled to produce but one that didn’t catch his teammates off guard.
“He was playing ball and having fun doing it. He played a great game for us. I am proud of him,” Martavis Bryant told Teresa Varley of Steelers.com.
Wheaton’s 201 yards is the sixth most in franchise history and the second time this season the Steelers have had a 200+ yard performance.
