The Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the Cincinnati Bengals, an AFC North foe, 44-38, thanks in large part to a dominant performance from Russell Wilson in Week 13.
Wison paused later that night, on December 1, to share the “greatest part” of the win with X. And it was about his kids and a backstage conversation he had with Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin just after the game.
“Enjoy your win! Love to all! Wilson added a commentary to his photo. “My kids yelling, ‘Dad! Dad! Dad!’ in the background is the best part right now 🖤💛.”
Reacting to a video showing Tomlin waiting for him outside the away team locker room (via 93.7 The Fan), he posted this comment. While the veteran quarterback’s children support him in the background, the Steelers head coach shakes Wilson’s hand and plants a kiss on his forehead in the video.
“Hey, old man, how are you?” In the video, Tomlin makes jokes above the cries of “Dad.”
This weekend, in addition to Thanksgiving and the Week 13 triumph, Wilson also celebrated his birthday. He became thirty-six years old.
Russell Wilson’s Steelers-Bengals postgame statement is clipped.
Wilson posted a more standard video cut from the game on X and Instagram in addition to the post about his kids.
It included an extended post-game statement about his teammates.
You see, we are working toward a goal that is important to us. Wilson said over the footage, “And we all did our job, one play at a time, and we did it together.” “Today was just a lot of fun.”
“Heading back to Pittsburgh with a dub” was the final statement at the end of the cut, which followed a ton of Steelers highlights.
Russell Wilson, quarterback for the Steelers, overwhelms the Bengals defense for 414 yards and three touchdowns.
In spite of the early pick-six interception, which might have been the consequence of a Bengals penalty that was not called, Wilson had his greatest passing performance as a Steeler on December 1st, throwing for 414 yards and three touchdowns.
Apart from that, the veteran signal-caller’s performance was essentially faultless, earning him a passer rating of 126.4 and a high-quality total QBR rating of 80.5 out of 100. These figures are Wilson’s 2024 bests, surpassing his performance against the Cleveland Browns in Week 12.

Wilson had a really full outing in Cincy, according to the combined results.
The Steelers’ leading pass-catchers of the day were tight end Pat Freiermuth and wide receiver George Pickens, as usual, followed by both starting running backs. WR Calvin Austin III, who departed the game due to injury, TEs Darnell Washington and MyCole Pruitt, WR Van Jefferson, RB Cordarrelle Patterson, and WR Ben Skowronek all contributed at least one after that.
In Week 13, Wilson distributed the ball to ten different offensive playmakers, for those who are keeping track.
After the victory, Wilson told reporters, “I think we had a wonderful day.” “I think they did a wonderful job,” he continued, adding that “it all starts with the offensive line.”
The Steelers quarterback continued by praising his skill position players, saying, “I simply think people did a wonderful job making plays.” “I thought Pat [Freiermuth]’s plays on the scrambles were fantastic, and George [Pickens] made a fantastic catch along the sideline. We felt that Naj [Harris] ran the ball really well, which was really important.
Wilson reaffirmed that the defense, which he believed “responded” well throughout the game, was part of a “fantastic team effort.”
