? NFL Network analyst Brian Baldinger did a breakdown on Russell Wilson’s 32-yard game-winner to Mike Williams to defeat the Washington Commanders 28-27.

? George Pickens has 14 receptions for 276 yards (19.7 average) and two touchdowns in the last three games with Russell Wilson at quarterback.

? Zach Frazier has emerged as one of the league’s best centers as a rookie. He has a 1.8% pressure rate allowed (fourth-lowest among Cs) and zero sacks allowed on 222 pass snaps, according to the 33rd Team.

? The Steelers have outscored their opponent 135-55 in the second half this year. That scoring margin (+80) leads the NFL.

? George Pickens was the highest-graded Steelers player (80.5) in the Week 10 win over the Commanders, according to Pro Football Focus.

? NFL Films captured Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin telling Mike Williams, “You’re a Steeler now, baby. You’re a Steeler now, welcome” after his 32-yard game-winning touchdown.

? Former Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was fired up after Russell Wilson got Commanders rookie defensive tackle Johnny Newton to jump offside on fourth-and-1. The mishap handed the Steelers a 28-27 win.

? Mike Tomlin’s 26 victories when facing a rookie starting quarterback are the most since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger. Tomlin is 26-6 all-time against rookie QBs.

? Sunday’s comeback win had a rare feel to it, especially with it being a pretty high scoring game. Over the previous two seasons (2022-23), the Steelers went 0-9 when allowing 24+ points. A 10-point deficit in the second half would have been a guaranteed loss in past years, as well.

? The Steelers official account X shared Rob King’s radio call of Pat Freiermuth’s 3-yard touchdown reception in the second quarter against the Commanders.
