Russell Wilson's Steelers debut was worth the wait.

A calf injury prevented Wilson from starting in Week 1, and Justin Fields remained the team's starting quarterback for the first six weeks of the season, but a change was made before Sunday night's game against the Jets. It took a while for Wilson to get going, but the Steelers scored on their last five offensive possessions to earn a 37-15 home win.

Wilson was 16 of 29 for 264 yards and two touchdowns, and the Steelers averaged a season average of 6.3 yards per play while completing four passing plays that covered at least 25 yards. It was a big change for a team that had 13 such games in the first six weeks, and head coach Mike Tomlin heaped praise on the quarterback after the game.

“I thought he was excellent” Tomlin said via the team's website. “I thought he got better as the game went on. But that doesn't surprise me. It’s been a while since he played the ball, but I thought he settled in, knocked the rust off, distributed the ball and played well.”

Running back Najee Harris said Wilson has made the offense “multi-dimensional” and shared his belief that having those options is crucial to “going far in the playoffs.” We still have a long way to go before we reach that point, but Sunday night showed what could be possible in Pittsburgh over the next few months.
