The Steelers’ quarterback competition still seems unsettled, though Russell Wilson didn’t appear to do himself many favors on Saturday.

During a 9-3 loss to the Bills, the 35-year-old went 8-for-10 with 47 yards, but the offense failed to score during his five series, which included three three-and-outs, and he was sacked three times.

On at least one sack, it appeared Wilson held onto the ball too long, though Steelers coach Mike Tomlin placed the blame on the offensive line.Russell Wilson throws an incomplete pass while being tackled during the Steelers’ preseason game against the Bills on Aug. 17, 2024.Trump's granddaughter makes college golf commitment decision

Tomlin said he couldn’t get a good enough evaluation of Wilson because of how stagnant the offense was. The Steelers then traded for Fields in March when the Bears decided to pick Caleb Williams No. 1 overall in the 2024 NFL Draft.
