Steelers fans, mark the calendar: Colin Cowherd finally gave Pittsburgh credit.
Cowherd is often regarded as one of the biggest critics of the Black and Gold, and while he is frequently vilified for his outlandish predictions and speculations, he has seemingly admitted to his lapse in judgment regarding the Steelers’ potential.
Cowherd predicted earlier in the offseason that Russell Wilson would lose the starting job to Justin Fields, but quite frankly, the opposite took place. Cowherd had previously admitted his mistake in assuming Mike Tomlin was “tone-deaf” to the offensive side of the ball, and he seemingly doubled down on his admission during a recent episode of The Herd.

While Cowherd’s “Seattle-East” comparison may rub some Steelers fans the wrong way, Russell Wilson has undeniably turned back the clock on his career in 2024 with Pittsburgh.
Cowherd’s newfound confidence in the Pittsburgh Steelers to beat AFC powerhouses such as the Chiefs, Bills, and Texans won’t fully redeem his reputation in the Steel City, but it’s definitely a start.
