After starting the season at 4-2 under quarterback Justin Fields, the Steelers finished the year with a 6-6 record under the leadership of Wilson.

Following the game, Wilson spoke about his future with the Steelers, mentioning that he hopes to be back in Pittsburgh after a one-year stint.

"It's been one of the best years for me personally," Wilson said. "Obviously, I hope I'm here and everything else. I trust God, whatever that is... He gave me so much joy being here and just being around the guys that were around. I love black and gold and just what it means."

Wilson has been in the league for quite some time, building an impressive NFL resume during his career with the Seattle Seahawks, Denver Broncos and Pittsburgh Steelers.

The 36-year-old helped the Seahawks win Super Bowl XLVIII and has been named to nine NFL Pro Bowls.

While he seems to be in the final leg of his NFL career, Wilson made it clear that he would like to return to the Steelers.
