One insider believes Russell Wilson's future with the Pittsburgh Steelers is on the line in the first round of the playoffs.

Quarterback Justin Fields is most likely on his way out after the team benched him for Russell Wilson despite a 4-2 start to the season. That move initially looked brilliant and Wilson appeared a potentially viable long-term solution, as he led Pittsburgh to six victories in the next seven games.

The Steelers are averaging just 14 points during their skid. Wilson’s hesitancy and questionable decision-making — he slid inbounds to keep the clock running and took a sack during Pittsburgh’s ill-fated last-gasp drive against Cincinnati last week — have been as much an issue as a spotty running game and sometimes shaky pass protection.
