Rich Eisen · Dec 2, 2024

Eisen says Russell Wilson will lead the Steelers to the AFC North title and that Mike Tomlin deserves Coach of the Year if Pittsburgh keeps this up; he also argues Atlanta will stick with Kirk Cousins rather than turning to rookie Michael Penix, and agrees the Packers reaching the divisional round is no overreaction.
