After signing a one-year contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Russell Wilson has showcased marvelous plays, even after an injury. As the last couple of games are remaining for the Steelers to secure the position into playoffs, Tony Romo has an important update for the franchise. The former Dallas Cowboys QB has come up with three-pointers which will lead the Steelers to not just get into the playoffs but to win the Lombardi.
After starting for six games, Wilson has won 5 games and scored 10 TDs. The most important fact is, in the last five of their Victories, the Steelers have won with an average margin of more than 8 points. While Romo emphasized, “They’re [Steelers] one of my favorites to win the Super Bowl at this point in the season,” He also clarified further on the team’s strengths so far.
The 44-year-old was asked, “Tony, they let Russ cook as soon as he became a starter. What has been the key to his success?” Romo replied by giving the first pointer of his crucial analysis: “Well, I think it’s a combination of things. I mean, the one thing I see is the play-action game and getting the ball down the field.” Perfect analysis!
The second point Tony made was the Steelers’ explosive offense. In his own words, “They’re getting down the field for chunk plays and they’re an explosive offense who also keeps it simple.” The offense has been the pillar behind the franchise’s 9-3 record leading to secure top position in the AFC North division. And why are they great at offense? One person – Arthur Smith.
This was, in fact, the third point of Romo’s analysis. He said, “They run the football at a very high level, but I think it all started when they got Arthur Smith in the offseason.” Arthur, an offensive coordinator for the franchise, has pulled the Steelers from the 28th position to the 14th position in one year in terms of scoring.
Now all the team Pittsburgh team needs to do is focus on getting into the playoffs.
What next for Russell Wilson’s Steelers?
The Steelers have clinched victories point by point. Their recent games against the Ravens and Commanders were close calls, but eventually led to the Steelers’ victory. However, there will be only four games after the matchup against the Browns on December 8.
The Steelers will face some fierce rivalries in upcoming games, including the Philadelphia Eagles game on December 16, the Baltimore Ravens game on 22, the Chiefs game on Christmas, and the last game before the postseason against Joe Burrow‘s Bengals. However, for the Steelers, one of the major concerns would be to tackle their divisional rival, who is trailing in the second position (AFC North)—the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens are also marching toward the playoffs with an 8-5 record.
