The Pittsburgh Steelers-Baltimore Ravens rivalry rarely disappoints, and Sunday’s edition produced another classic thriller ending in the Steelers’ 18-16 triumph.

Pittsburgh — who tallied all 18 of its points via field goals — stopped a potentially game-tying two point conversion by Baltimore with just over one minute to play. More notably, the Steelers’ first divisional win of the season expanded their lead atop AFC North standings to 1.5 games.

Or, in the eyes of quarterback Russell Wilson, two games if you simply round up the half.

Russell Wilson: “We’ve got, what, a two-game lead, right?”

Reporters: “One and a half”

Russ: “Eh, that’s two, round up.”

Wilson, one of several players “welcomed to the rivalry” by Steelers coach Mike Tomlin, wasn’t the only player or coach to offer a humorous or declarative statement after a win in Week 11 of the NFL season. Here are some of the other top post-victory remarks.

“It’s pretty cool, especially to do it against the Jets and Aaron Rodgers. I’ve been watching him since I was a kid. So it’s a blessing just to be able to go against a legend.”

After a brief stint on the bench in favor of veteran Joe Flacco, Anthony Richardson made his return to the Colts’ starting unit on Sunday against the New York Jets and marked the occasion with a win.

Richardson threw for 272 yards and a touchdown, and also added two more scores on the ground — including the game-winner with 46 seconds left. He spoke postgame about the experience of leading a game-winning drive to beat legendary Rodgers and the Jets.

“Winning feels a lot better than losing, so I think we’re going to keep trying to do that.“

Winners of two straight games after an injury-filled 2-6 start to the season, the Miami Dolphins put forth their best offensive outing of the season in a 34-19 triumph over the Las Vegas Raiders. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa threw for 288 yards and three touchdowns in the win.

Asked about his team’s recent form after the game, head coach Mike McDaniel had some dry humor regarding his feelings about the result.

“Washington, respect y’all but y’all know this s— runs through us.“

Though the Eagles’ season got off to an inauspicious 2-2 start, the team has found their groove to the tune of a sixth straight win on Thursday.

The 26-18 triumph over the Washington Commanders put Philadelphia firmly in control of the NFC East heading down the stretch of the season — a fact defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson was plenty aware of after the game.

Walking through the locker room after coming off the field, Gardner-Johnson had a clear message for the Commanders.
