Ciara is loving every moment of this special “Victory Monday.”
Taking to Instagram on Monday, the 38-year-old singer celebrated husband Russell Wilson after he notched a win in his Steelers debut with a statement 37-15 victory over the Jets on Sunday.
“Victory Monday! Go Daddy @DangeRussWilson! Go @Steelers,” Ciara captioned the post, which featured photos of the family rocking Wilson’s No. 3 jersey at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh.
The quarterback, who was sidelined earlier this season with a lingering calf issue, received the QB1 nod for Sunday over Justin Fields, who led the Steelers to a 4-2 start.
Although the quarterback switch raised plenty of eyebrows, Wilson delivered a solid performance, going 16 of 29 for 264 yards and two touchdowns. He also added a score on the ground.
“I felt like it was playoff baseball,” said Wilson, who arrived in Pittsburgh this offseason after his Broncos release. “Started off 0-for-2 but felt like I was going to get hot. I kept telling coach, ‘Hey, I’m going to get hot here’ and sure enough we did. The guys did a tremendous job up front giving me enough time to make throws, guys made plays down the field and everything else.”
Steelers coach Mike Tomlin lauded the showing by Wilson, who had been named the starter out of training camp over the summer.
“I thought he was excellent,” he said postgame. “… It’s been a while since he played some ball, but I thought he settled in, knocked the rust off, man, and distributed the ball around and played well.”
The Steelers were coming off a win entering Sunday’s primetime matchup against the Jets, defeating the Raiders on the road last week, 32-13.
Fields, who was traded to the Steelers in March by the Bears, scored two rushing touchdowns against Las Vegas.
He has only thrown one interception in a six-game span.
“I got to give Justin Fields credit, all the things he was able to do, how great he’s been playing,” Wilson said Sunday.
When the Steelers host the Giants next Monday night, it’s probable Ciara will be at the game to cheer on her favorite player.
She and Wilson have been married since 2016 and have three children together: daughters Sienna, 7, and Amora, 10 months, and 4-year-old son Win.
Ciara also has a 10-year-old son, Future, from a previous relationship.
