The Pittsburgh Steelers signed veteran quarterback Russell Wilson to a one-year deal over the offseason hoping the 35-year-old could find his winning form from his days with the Seattle Seahawks. However, after Saturday's ugly performance vs. the Bills, Wilson looks more like the QB he was for the past two years in Denver, which isn't great for the Steelers.
