Wilson was sacked three times and looked rusty in his first action since last December while playing for Denver.
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson calls signals before taking a snap from Zach Frazier during the first half of an NFL exhibition football game against the Buffalo Bills, Saturday, Aug. 17, 2024, in Pittsburgh.
Pittsburgh’s offense has so many new parts — from offensive coordinator Arthur Smith to a pair of quarterbacks in Wilson and Justin Fields to rookie center Zack Frazier — that it’s going to take time to figure things out. The 35-year-old Wilson, slowed by a calf injury for much of training camp, completed 8 of 10 passes for 47 yards. He also took three sacks during five scoreless series.
“We got into the red zone a couple of times,” Fields said. “But I think next week we’re just going to have to turn those drives into points.”
