When in doubt, let Russ cook! Every week since then made the polarizing decision to bench the 4-2 Justin Fields, the current starting quarterback has proven his deep ball is a necessity for Pittsburgh's offense.
While Wilson will never be able to match Fields' athletic ability with his legs, the infamous PFF has confirmed that Wilson's deep ball is the most accurate in the NFL.
With over 50 percent of those long throws, his “moon ball” truly changed the entire offense and begs the question: Would it? Would Wilson currently be 9-0 if he had started every contest this season?
Russell Wilson on 20+ yard throws this season:
53.3% completion rate
1st among QBs with more than 15 such throws 🚀

Wilson's deep ball should be on full display against the Ravens as the Steelers offense faces one of the worst statistical defensive units against the pass.
Against Baltimore on November 17th at 1:00 pm EST, Wilson has the opportunity to do what Fields couldn't with Pittsburgh: finish 4-0 in his first four starts with the team.
