The Pittsburgh Steelers will look to snap a dreadful two-game losing streak on Christmas Day, as the team will host the Kansas City Chiefs at Acrisure Stadium in Week 17. The Steelers suffered a demoralizing divisional defeat to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 16 and will play their third game in 11 days on Wednesday.
Though the Steelers are fully focused on beating the defending champions on Christmas, it’s the holiday season, and it’s a time to give back to those you love and appreciate. That’s exactly what quarterback Russell Wilson did on Tuesday.
The veteran signal-caller gave a plethora of awesome gifts to Pittsburgh’s offensive linemen, including a $10,000 Airbnb gift card that can be used anywhere around the world, a Louis Vuitton duffel bag in the iconic Steelers colors, custom-made Steelers Good Man Brand shoes, which is Wilson’s clothing brand, and a bottle of TenToOne Rum, which is owned by Wilson’s wife, Ciara.

It’s a yearly tradition for quarterbacks and running backs to gift their offensive linemen extravagant gifts during the holiday season. San Francisco 49ers’ quarterback Brock Purdy gifted his offensive linemen Toyota trucks, while Green Bay Packers star running back Josh Jacobs gifted his linemen custom chains with their jersey numbers.
Wilson’s gift to the Steelers’ offensive line couldn’t be more deserving, as the nine-time Pro Bowler has been sacked just 24 times this year and has rejuvenated his career behind Pittsburgh’s formidable offensive line in 2024. The unit has allowed just 40 total sacks in 15 games this season and have also done a fantastic job paving running lanes for running backs Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren.
