Man, today was a doozy! I spent the whole day diving deep into this whole Russell Wilson and Pittsburgh Steelers drama. You wouldn’t believe the rollercoaster it’s been.

First thing I did was scour the internet for any news about the Steelers game on January 11, 2025. I saw that the Steelers lost to the Ravens, 28-14. Bummer, right? They started the season so strong, 10-3, and then this happens. It felt like watching a car crash in slow motion.
Then I dug into more articles, trying to get a better handle on the situation. They all mentioned Wilson’s leadership and how he made few turnovers, saying he was part of the reason they started off so strong. They called it a “sprint toward the AFC North crown.” I was totally buying it. I love a good underdog story.
But, oh boy, the game against Baltimore! Apparently, the Steelers had “no answers” for them. One article even pointed out that allowing 300 rushing yards is worse than 300 passing yards. I’m no football expert, but that sounds pretty bad. I mean, 300 yards? That’s like, three football fields!
I then started looking into what this means for Wilson’s future with the Steelers. Some sources are saying the Steelers might not have a long-term plan for a quarterback. And Wilson’s season ended with that loss to the Ravens. It’s like the end of a movie, but not the happy kind.
Next up, I started to check out what they paid Wilson. Turns out, the Steelers got him for cheap! Just $1.21 million for the year. The Broncos are the ones paying most of his salary, $37.79 million! Can you believe that? It’s like buying a fancy car for the price of a bicycle.

Here’s a breakdown of what I did today:
- Checked the date: January 11, 2025, the day of the Steelers vs. Ravens game.
- Confirmed the score: Steelers lost 28-14. Ouch.
- Read articles: Found out the Steelers started strong (10-3) but fell apart.
- Focused on Wilson: He was good at not making mistakes and a strong leader early on.
- Dug into the loss: Steelers got crushed, especially on the ground (300 rushing yards!).
- Looked at the future: Seems uncertain for Wilson and the Steelers.
- Checked the money: Steelers got Wilson for a steal, just $1.21 million.
My Final Thoughts
This whole situation is a mess. The Steelers seemed like they had something special, and then it all crumbled. As for Wilson, it’s tough to say what’s next. He played well at first, then a huge loss. And the money stuff is just wild. It’s going to be interesting to see what happens next season. It’s like a soap opera, and I’m totally hooked!
