Russ’s haters: “I don’t know what Russ brings to the table besides the deep-ball.” Russ: “Hold my beer!” Russ today? 414 Yards 3 TDs (should’ve been 5!) 1 INT on a bad no-call! 29/38 Passing (76%) 10 different receivers 126.4 Pass Rating (104.3 overall) Used the midfield heavily Threw short, intermediate and long Used different position angles Used varied arm angles Torched the D from the pocket & outside Masterful pre-snap Ran the 2-minute offense to perfection Russ took 2 non-contact sacks for efficiency and clock management but also ran for 20+ yards today, which is a solid rushing performance. The Steelers left 11 points on the board (Pickens cost them 7 points and Tomlin cost them 4) and got robbed for another 7 points by the refs on that pick-6. The score should’ve been 62-31…the Steelers were DOMINANT, and it’s because Russ was DOMINANT! Today, Russ was Brady, Manning, and his prime self. Russ is as versatile and dynamic a passer as there is in the league. If he’s holding the ball, it’s because Arthur Smith isn’t doing his job, just like Pete wasn’t doing his job at times in Seattle. Russ can throw any pass and other QB in the league can throw. I think Steelers fans are about to find out just how badly national media disrespected Russ over the years when he was in Seattle, and even in 2023 in Denver. His arm is special.
As a diehart STEELERS Fan, i agree. Both teams played AFC NORTH ball... I just dont understand how the BENGALS arent winning games. Its not like they are the worse team in the AFC.
No they were not. Russ had a bogus INT, Burrows had 3: turnovers. I didn't hear anyone say Burrows holds the ball too long and take sacks. He had 4. Russ' 2 sacks was a play where he got back to the line of scrimmage and the other he took purposely to run the clock and set up his FG kicker. Russ was throwing darts all over the field and his mobility was 2017 like .

BOOM 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
Now this is a good breakdown
Pickens didn’t fall, he was knocked down on what should’ve been an illegal use of hands penalty: 15 yards and an automatic first down.
Russ is absolute STUD. High level QB !!! Pitt people not used to excellence

Burrow played his butt off today. He and Russ were nearly alike stat-wise and performance-wise.
No they were not.
Russ had a bogus INT, Burrows had 3: turnovers.

He had 4.
