The Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback sees similarities in championship contenders.
Most notably, the Steelers are in the middle of a five-game win streak -- four of which came after quarterback Russell Wilson was given the starting job back. Wilson has yet to lose in a Steelers uniform. Considering Pittsburgh's record and their performance against a perceived Super Bowl contender, the Ravens, it's time to think about what the Steelers could do in January and maybe even February.
"I've been fortunate to be able to win a championship before. I think that we've, you know, on those championship teams, that Super Bowl team, we just had so much great talent," Wilson said after beating the Ravens. "But the thing about talent is that you also have to have the work ethic, the drive, the will to win and the ability to win close games. The ability to win on defense in a big, key moment to take the lead.
"And the best part is nobody blinked," Wilson said. "Coach mentioned that too, you know, don't blink. We didn't blink. We stayed focused. We stayed in the moment. And so, we haven't done anything yet, though. We have a lot more to go. We got a lot more football to play. That's the part we embrace, that's the challenge that we enjoy. So we're just going to stay the course. We're going to keep believing in each other.
