Although he missed the first six games of ’24 with a calf injuryhe ended up completing 63% of his passes for 2,482 yards and 16 touchdowns with five interceptions.

“I thought I played well,” Wilson said. “There are moments where I wish I had played a little better.” I feel like I’ve had two shows that I wish I had back, to be honest. The one in Kansas City and the one at the Ravens game. Apart from that, I especially competed in those two performances and did my best.
He obviously felt like we didn’t play well enough when we needed to as a team. I hated missing games. I hated missing the first six games. I don’t really miss games like that and it was disappointing, but I love how the guys make plays.”
Wilson openly said he has yet to speak with the Steelers about next season. With that in mind, the veteran made it known that he would love to be in black and gold in 2025.
