It appears Steelers fans, desperate for change, want Pittsburgh to take an even more drastic and bold step: finally give rookie Roman Wilson his big shot during the Steelers’ biggest game of 2024—the Wild-Card matchup against the Baltimore Ravens.
While many may be quick to disparage the move, arguing that Wilson isn’t ready or that he may not fully grasp the playbook—neither did WR George Pickens during the game-changing interception in Week 17 against the Chiefs.
Everyone can agree that this Steelers offense has been truly awful over the past four weeks and is in obvious need of a spark. Offensive coordinator Arthur Smith referenced “burning the boats” with QB Justin Fields’ potential usage in preparation for the Wild-Card matchup against the Ravens—why not take the same approach with Wilson?
As fans call for a glimpse of the Russell Wilson-to-Wilson connection making its debut against the Ravens, here are some of their best reactions on social media.
I want to see Roman Wilson play Saturday night against the Baltimore Ravens.
I want to see what he can do.
