The Seattle Seahawks may have had a bye week on Sunday, but the 12th Man got to see two of their favorite franchise legends take the field. Only this time, they got to be on the field at the same time.
The Pittsburgh Steelers were taking on the Washington Commanders this weekend, which meant quarterback Russell Wilson was facing off directly against linebacker Bobby Wagner. For Seahawks fans, it surely is a bizarre sight to see Wilson in a Steelers jersey, and Wagner in a Commanders one. But no matter what, it is still great to see them out there competing at a high level.

The Washington/Pittsburgh game was one of the best from Week 10, especially in the morning slate of games. The Commanders held a 24-14 lead in the second half, but the Steelers were not going away quietly. Eventually, Wilson engineered a six-play, 51yard drive which was capped off by a 32-yard touchdown strike to Mike Williams to take a 28-27 lead. Six plays later, Pittsburgh’s defense held on to secure the road victory to remain undefeated with Wilson as a starter.
Afterwards, Wilson and Wagner exchanged jerseys. The two entered the league in the same 2012 NFL draft class, which was infamously given an “F” grade by Bleacher Report at the time. Clearly, neither future Hall of Famers have forgotten that grade.
Forever Legendary. Forever Brothers. @Bwagz I love you for life bro! They gave us an F Grade in 2012… But we still here doing it!!! “Don’t get bored with consistency!” God gets ALL the Glory! pic.twitter.com/H8NN3cjj0R
