? Colin Cowherd of FS1 ranked the Steelers ninth in his latest rankings.
“Number nine, I don’t know what I’m doing, Steelers. I mean, it’s the Russell Wilson Steelers. They look good. I mean, they had outscored the Jets 24-nothing in the second half. I’m sorry, that’s impressive,” Cowherd said on The Herd. “I don’t know what to do. I’m not saying they’re a Super Bowl team, but I’m sorry. When they play at home, Russell Wilson doesn’t turn it over, can be pretty good in the red zone, have a home-run threat in Pickens, a Super Bowl-winning coach. Najee Harris, I’ve liked for years.”
? CBS Pete Prisco wants to see more from Russell Wilson.
“Everybody raved about the moonballs, and here’s the thing, he threw popups, George Pickens went and got them. That’s basically what happened,” Prisco said. “That was a depleted Jets defense. They were at home, it was an emotional game. He got it going a little bit, but there’s still more I need to see from Russell Wilson.”
