DENVER, Co. (KDKA) — Russell Wilson didn’t play for the Steelers upon his return to Denver, but he was still given a “game ball,” in this case called a “petty game ball.”

The experienced quarterback signed with the Steelers last offseason as a free agent after he released by the Broncos just two years into a five-year, $240 million contract and was about to make a return to Denver, but a A calf injury threw a spanner in the works of those plans.

Justin Fields instead got his second straight start and led the team to a 13-6 win over the Broncos. After the game, Fields said he talked about Wilson’s time in Denver.

“I think we all know Russ got a little dirty last year,” Fields said. “I know he wished he could have played in this game today, but it’s great to have him win. He got a petty game ball. It’s great to get the dub for Russ.”

ESPN’s Brooke Pryor said Sunday that head coach Mike Tomlin often hands out “petty game balls” to Steelers players who beat their former teams.

Fields added that Brandon Johnson and Corliss Waitman also each received one.

The Steelers opened their season with two road games, winning two of them. The team’s focus now shifts to the Los Angeles Chargers, who visit Acrisure Stadium on Sunday.

Kick-off is scheduled for 1:00 p.m. You can watch the game on KDKA-TV.
