On Sunday, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson threw for 414 passing yards and three passing touchdowns. He outgunned Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow to lead the Steelers to a huge 44-38 win.
It seemed like Wilson’s performance made him a no-brainer for getting AFC Offensive Player of the Week. But instead, the NFL decided to give it to Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen. After all, he had a dominant 166 yards of offense and two total touchdowns. Needless to say, from he replies to the post below, plenty of fans, Steelers and otherwise, think Wilson got snubbed.

Wilson has injected new life into the Steelers passing game since becoming the starter after six games. Pittsburgh has gone 5-1 with Wilson as the starter and is averaging 271 passing yards per game. If he can keep up this pace, it will be a career-high.
