Steelers Grapple with Russell Wilson's Future After Three-Game Losing Streak

Pittsburgh faces tough decisions at quarterback as Wilson struggles and playoff hopes hang in the balance.

Russell Wilson's performance has declined during a three-game losing streak, with the Steelers falling to 10-6 after a 6-1 start under his leadership.
Wilson has struggled against top teams, averaging just 5.9 yards per pass and 183.3 passing yards per game in losses to the Eagles, Ravens, and Chiefs.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that the Steelers are likely to retain Wilson for 2025 due to limited quarterback options in free agency and the draft.
Backup Justin Fields, who led the Steelers to a 4-2 record earlier in the season, has been floated as a short-term and potential long-term alternative by some analysts.
The Steelers must beat the Bengals in Week 18 and hope for a Ravens loss to the Browns to secure the AFC North division title.
