The Pittsburgh Steelers will be without the services of a key wide receiver against the Ravens, but T.J. Watt got an encouraging injury update. And Russell Wilson provided an upbeat take with his awesome six-word message about a potential Pittsburgh return, according to nbcsports.com.
A child asked Wilson if he likes playing for the Steelers and he said, “Yeah, I love it. It’s awesome.”

The Steelers are in the playoffs. Now they are looking to set themselves up for good matchups, including home games.
Wilson said the team needs to lock in for the game against the Ravens, according to bolavip.com.
“I think the most important is we got to focus on now,” Wilson said. “We don’t have time to even think about last week. I think the most important thing coming out of it though is that we’ve got to get ourselves the best chance to win. When we put ourselves in good situations, go and capitalize on them. We’re going to have to play our best football. It’s going to be a great game.”
Staying away from too many nerves makes a difference, Wilson added.

However, former NFL coach Rex Ryan said the Steelers shouldn’t be so high on Wilson, according to themirror.com.
“(The Steelers) should (be panicking),” Ryan said. “They’re not as good as their record says they are. I mean, they really aren’t. (Mike Tomlin is) a great coach, don’t get me wrong, but I liked Justin Fields better. The impact that Russ has had on the rushing game, they’re absolutely atrocious running the football now.”
