For the first time this year, the Steelers are in a 3 game losing streak. But Russell Wilson wants to change it. The playoff seat is already secured. And they want to win the last game of the season against Bengals. It’s something that would boost their morale. It’s new year as well, so the QB gave advice that’s usually unheard of.

While talking to reporters after Wednesday’s practice session, Mr. Unlimited requested his teammates to follow the mindset of legends from other sports. He highlighted Steph Curry’s mantra and said, “I think it’s the same thing in any sport, really. I think the best players in the world, they’re able to remain neutral. Steph Curry is probably a 93%, 94% free throw shooter, something like that. If he misses a free throw in the finals, it doesn’t mean that he’s not any good anymore.”

Though advice is right, the team needs Russell Wilson to lead them. In 3 games since week 15 which they lost, he has 2 interceptions. He hasn’t passed the ball for more than 220 yards, even stooping as low to 128 passing yards against Eagles in week 15. With 3 touchdowns in these 3 games, the scoring machine has also been hit. But he called upon his teammates to practice Amnesia.
It’s the art of moving that every player has to practice. You can’t only keep yourself focused on the losses. While talking about their strategy against Bengals, he further added, “You got to have amnesia in this game. It is one of those games that they got good players, we got good players, there’s going to be highs, there’s going to be lows throughout the game, throughout the season, through all that and just having amnesia.”
While the Steelers want to up their morale by winning, the Bengals’ season would be over if they don’t win. It’s a must-win game for them. It would be an intense battle on the gridiron. Records will be on-line too.
After Russell Wilson, Joe Burrow makes his intentions clear
After Russell Wilson gave his advice to teammates, his rival Joe Burrow also revealed his mindset. Apart from winning the game, he also wants to help his receiver Ja’Marr Chase finish as the best this year. With 117 catches for 1,612 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns, Chase is leading the NFL.
Burrow wants his teammate from college days to finish on top. According to Geoff Hobson, the quarterback said, “Make sure he gets it. I think a couple of (categories) are pretty out of reach for everybody else. I think he’s got a seven- or eight-catch lead. He works for it. He grinds for it. He’s a once-in-a-lifetime-type player and our careers will forever be tied together from college into the pro landscape. That’s just fun to be a part of.”
Chase has a strong lead in all 3 aspects. Lions’ Amon-Ra St. Brown trails him in catches with 109 catches. In receiving yards, Vikings’ Justin Jefferson is second with 1,479 yards. Commanders’ Terry McLaurin is following him with 12 touchdowns. So, he has a very strong chance of finishing this season with a triple crown. But qualifying for playoffs is their primary objective.
Their fans would be rejoiced if they win the game too. With 8-8 win-loss record, they also need the Broncos (9-7) and Dolphins (8-8) to lose. Will all of this happen at once? Everything will be decided by the coming Sunday, December 5.
