Primanti Bros is cooking with new Russell Wilson-inspired sandwich

A new Russell Wilson-inspired sandwich is now available to purchase, made by noneother than Pittsburgh’s own, Promanti Bros.

Watch out ‘Dangerwich’, there’s a new Russell Wilson inspired sandwich in town, and this time, it’s being done right.

Primanti Bros, a popular sandwich staple of Pittsburgh cuisine, announced on social media that a new creation is on the way, inspired by Pittsburgh Steelers’ Week 7 starting QB, and is called ‘The DangeRuss’.  Whether Pittsburgh is letting Russ cook the Giants defense on Monday Night Football, or Primanti Bros is cooking up this delicious sandwich for fans, Wilson is the talk of town right now.

All of this comes after an outstanding seasonal debut this past Sunday Night Football against the New York Jets, where Wilson accumulated three total touchdowns, threw for a 109.0 passer rating, and set the Steelers’ debut passing yards record.

DangeRuss, AKA Mr. Unlimited, will look to lead his Steelers’ to their third straight victory when they host the New York Giants on Monday Night Football, October 27th at 8:15 PM EST.

AFC playoff picture: Where does Pittsburgh currently factor in?

A few weeks away from the 2024 season’s halfway mark, here are the AFC’s current standings and playoff picture through seven weeks.

It feels like it was only yesterday when fans were speculating over the Pittsburgh Steelers Week 1 game against the Atlanta Falcon’s, but with the trade deadline around the corner, and only a few weeks away from being half-way through the 2024 season, the playoff picture is beginning to take shape.

Currently, the Pittsburgh Steelers are tied with the Baltimore Ravens for the top spot in the AFC North.  The Ravens currently hold the tie breaker over the Steelers, due to Baltimore having a better divisional record of 1-0.  With this in mind, Pittsburgh currently holds the top Wild Card playoff spot as the 5th seed in the AFC overall.

There is currently a four-way tie for the second-overall seed in the AFC playoff picture.  Pittsburgh could realistically take the number one seed if the team can defeat the Chiefs on Christmas day and Ravens twice this season.

Steelers-Raiders first-half: Offensive penalties and strong defense

The Pittsburgh Steelers hold a 12-7 lead over the Las Vegas Raiders heading into half-time.

The Pittsburgh Steelers hold a 12-7 lead heading into half-time in their Week 6 contest versus the Las Vegas Raiders.  Producing a first-half that was highlighted by multiple holding calls on the Steelers’ offensive line, and a strong defensive effort, Pittsburgh will look to analyze whatcspecific gameplan adjustments need to be made heading into the second-half.

The offensive line struggled to contain Raiders’ star pass rusher Maxx Crosby, and forced officials to throw multiple flags for holding—ruining drives for the team.

The Steelers produced 152-yards of offense, averaging 4.5 yards a play.  The Pittsburgh defense, although giving up a touchdown early, held the Raiders to a measly 119 yards of total offense.

If Pittsburgh is able to keep their momentum going and pull off the win today, the Steelers will be able to keep pace with the Baltmore Ravens in their race for the AFC North divisional title.

Pittsburgh received the ball to start the contest, and will subsequently kick off to the Las Vegas Raiders to begin this second-half of football.
