Ciara posted two photos of her and the couple\u2019s children dressed in Steelers attire for the game.<\/p>\n<p>Ciara posted a third photo of Wilson high-fiving Steelers fans after the win as well.<\/p>\n<p>As a caption, Ciara wrote, \u201cDaddy\u2019s No. 1 fans.

Wilson threw for that yardage while completing 16 of 29 attempts for an average of 9.1 yards per pass.<\/p>\n<p>He also had 2 passing touchdowns and a rushing score.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Russell Wilson Opens Steelers Passing Game<\/h2>\n<p>Pundits and many Steelers fans were concerned that losing the running ability of\u00a0Justin Fields\u00a0was going to stall Pittsburgh\u2019s offense. Wilson replaced Fields in the starting lineup versus the Jets.<\/p>\n<p>While Wilson wasn\u2019t able to take advantage of some running lanes that Fields probably would have, Wilson did more through the air. He had seven completions of at least 15 yards versus the Jets.<\/p>\n<p>Steelers top wide receiver\u00a0George Pickens\u00a0had his most impactful performance of the season, as\u00a0he hauled\u00a0in 5 catches for 111 yards and a touchdown. Pickens also drew a 29-yard pass interference penalty.<\/p>\n<p>With the emergence of the deep threat, running lanes also opened up for\u00a0Najee Harris. He ran for 100-plus rushing yards for the second consecutive week.\u00a0The only other time in the NFL when Harris gained 100 yards on the ground in back-to-back games was over the final two regular season contests last season.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the 37 points the Steelers scored were their most in a game since Week 11 of the 2021 season. At that time, Ben Roethlisberger was Pittsburgh\u2019s quarterback.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Wilson Addresses Steelers Fans Booing<\/h2>\n<p>October 20 was a great night for Wilson. But it didn\u2019t begin that way. He only completed 2 of his first 8 attempts, and the Steelers fell behind 15-6 in the first half.<\/p>\n<p>The Pittsburgh home crowd at Acrisure Stadium grew quite restless during that stretch. Some fans booed when the Steelers had to punt, and\u00a0there were rumblings of Fields chants.<\/p>\n<p>During his postgame press conference, Wilson addressed how he was able to overcome that negative energy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI really believe in being neutral,\u201d\u00a0Wilson told reporters. \u201cNot being too high, not being too low. My old mental coach who passed away a couple years ago used to always say \u2018Stay the course.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cComing into this game, we had a couple of things early we could\u2019ve had. I felt like it was playoff baseball. I said out there, in the sense of, I started off 0-for-2. But it felt like I was going to get hot. I kept telling coach, \u2018Hey, I\u2019m going to get hot here.\u2019 Sure enough, we did.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Steelers undrafted rookie cornerback\u00a0Beanie Bishop Jr.\u00a0sent the home crowd into a frenzy\u00a0when he intercepted\u00a0Aaron Rodgers\u00a0just before halftime. Wilson turned the opportunity into a touchdown to bring the Steelers within 2 points at halftime.<\/p>\n<p>There was then no booing from Steelers fans in the second half, as the team outscored the Jets 24-0 after halftime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GettyCiara, the wife of Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson, posted on Instagram after Wilson won his team debut with the Steelers.
