? Greg Cosell of NFL Films thinks Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson is at his best when he’s under center.

“Wilson at his core, that’s what he does best — when it can be defined for him… He’s not at his best as a shotgun QB,” Cosell told Colin Cowherd on The Herd.

? The official NFL account on X shared all 22 of T.J. Watt’s strip sacks in his career.

? Friday marked the 45th anniversary of Mel Blount’s pick-six off Joe Montana.

? Former NFL quarterback Cam Newton is still questioning Russell Wilson and the Steelers.

“I’m still skeptical. I’m not saying Russell Wilson has not been playing good football. He’s just been playing good football versus inadequate teams,” Newton said on his 4th&1 YouTube show. “I’m not giving excuses. All I’m saying is you better win the games that you’re supposed to win. Russell Wilson and the Pittsburgh Steelers were supposed to win these games. You ain’t showing me nothing any different than what Justin Fields could’ve done.”

? Steelers wide receiver/punt returner Calvin Austin III is looking forward to next week’s game against the Washington Commanders after the bye.
