DENVER — Quarterback Russell Wilson didn't play a single snap in the Pittsburgh Steelers 13-6 win against the Denver Broncos, but Mike Tomlin still gave him a game ball.
Not just any game ball — a «petty game ball.» «I think we all know Russ got kind of did dirty last year,» quarterback Justin Fields said after the game. «So I know he wished he could have played today in this game, but it's awesome getting a win for him.
He got a petty game ball.» Tomlin routinely hands out that kind of game ball to his players in games where they beat their former teams.
Practice squad wide receiver Brandon Johnson and punter Corliss Waitman, who each spent time in Denver, got petty game balls, too.
