🏈 Former NFL general manager Doug Whaley believes the Steelers have an unlimited ceiling with Russell Wilson:

“From what I saw from Sunday’s game, their ceiling’s unlimited,” Whaley said on 93.7 The Fan. “You just don’t put a ceiling on them because their potential is very – I mean, when you start talking about putting up over 30 points a game with that defense and a quarterback that as we saw on Sunday night, can elevate other people’s games that weren’t really scratched on the surface with other people being the quarterback. That’s the difference between a guy that has quarterback talent and a talented quarterback.”

🏈 Steelers outside linebacker T.J. Watt is the highest-graded defensive player (95.8) in the red zone this season, according to Pro Football Focus.
