Russell Wilson got a game ball for doing nothing Sunday. Nice to know that some things never change.
Russell Wilson of the Pittsburgh Steelers leaves the field having not played after the fourth quarter of the Steelers’ 13-6 win over the Denver Broncos at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver on Sunday, Sept. 15, 2024. “Obviously, it’s huge to get a second win and everything else,” Wilson told me as we shook hands at his stall inside the visiting locker room at Empower Field early Sunday night. “That was big. Great team win.
“I was really hoping was going to be playing today,” Jon Bey told me as we met on the main concourse during the first half Sunday. “Yeah, so it’s rough. Look, Russell’s OK. The contract was insane. He’s a little bit of a prima donna. I think that’s why he gets such a hard time when he comes back here.”
Meanwhile, Jackie Godinez of Denver had warned her guy Leo not to wear his to the game. Before he left for Mile High in an orange Russ jersey, she was like, ‘Are you sure?’So Russ it was. “I’m here with my brother-in-law who’s a Steelers fan, so I was going to spray-paint it black,” Ambrosich explained, “but like, keep the orange somewhat visible .Full disclosure: After the last two weeks, he’s not quite sure Bo Nix is the guy, either.
Even big Russ’ game ball was petty. No, seriously. The Steelers’ current QB1, Fields, told reporters that coach Mike Tomlin gave Big Russ a “petty game ball,” a Pittsburgh tradition when facing a former team. Wideout Brandon Johnson and punter Corliss Waitman, two other Broncos alums, apparently got them, too.
