The champ is back. Pittsburgh Steelers wanted to see Russell Wilson in action. In the week 7 game against the Jets, their wish was fulfilled. Not only did he lead them, he took them to a win. Steeler Nation is elated. After the 37-15 win on the 20th of October, they have a 5-2 win-loss record. The coaches are also happy.

Offensive Coordinator Arthur Smith praised the veteran quarterback for his positivity. The OC commended the QB for controlling his emotions during the intense matchup. “He’s different. You gotta fight your emotions. Going into it, you gotta have your mindset neutral, being objective, standing on the situation, and not overreacting when something doesn’t go well early, or getting too amped when it does. He got up off the mat and kept going.” That’s some respect there. And the Super Bowl winner has earned it over the years.

This year also, when Russell Wilson arrived at the Black and the Gold, he made his intentions clear by stating that he wanted to win as many trophies for them as he could. The team was also ready. Mike Tomlin named him the starting quarterback. However, he re-aggravated his calf injury and everything came to a standstill.

Smith also defended Justin Fields, who became the starter QB after Wilson’s injury. And he led the Steelers well. In 6 games, he led them to 4 wins. However, Steeler Nation was eager to see the seasoned player. His Blitzburgh debut has been outstanding. Against the Jets, he had 16 of 29 passes with 264 yards and 2 touchdowns.

The city is elated by his impressive performance. They are honoring him in unconventional ways.

Pittsburgh restaurant names a sandwich after Russell Wilson

The veteran has won all types of accolades in his career an athlete dreams of. In 2020, he won the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award. 2022 brought another laurel, which was the Bart Starr award. Now, a Pittsburgh restaurant has given him a unique honor. The city will remember him for this.

Region’s cultural icon, Primanti Bros., has named a sandwich after Russell Wilson. On the 22nd of October, after he won the Jets game, the restaurant chain announced ‘DangeRuss‘ sandwich which includes pepperoni, salami, ham, and bacon with the toppings of provolone cheese, fries, slaw, and tomato. That’s not all!

The special thing about it is that UPMC Children’s Hospital Foundation will receive $1 from each sandwich sold. The quarterback would be happy to know that. While he is establishing himself as the leader of the locker room, the Steeler Nation is celebrating. However, he has a long way to go. It’s been 15 years since the team won their last Super Bowl. If he does it again, he will surely cement his place among the legends.
