It appears former MVP Cam Newton isn’t the biggest fan of Steelers QB Russell Wilson. Over the few three weeks, Newton has consistently criticized the Pittsburgh Steelers and labeled the team as closer to pretenders than contenders.
While appearing on ESPN’s First Take, Newton claimed a few weeks ago that the Steelers’ victories over the Raiders, Jets, and Giants didn’t prove enough. His attitude shifted slightly after Pittsburgh’s victories over the Commanders and Ravens, but he recently reverted to his Black and Gold-hating ways.
On a recent episode of his sports talk show, 4th and 1 with Cam Newton, the former MVP started off with a bold statement: “Russell Wilson is being carried by the Pittsburgh Steelers.” Newton continued to criticize Pittsburgh, stating, “They played the Jets, the Giants, a still-on-the-bubble Washington Commanders team, and they played the Ravens. By the way, Chris Boswell kicked all the points.”

Wilson has the opportunity to silence doubters, including Newton, when he attempts to lead the Pittsburgh Steelers to a tough road victory against the Cincinnati Bengals on December 1 at 1:00 PM EST.
