WATCH: Elon Musk hypes up Steelers fans, waves "Terrible Towel" during SNF showdown vs Cowboys
As the Sunday Night Football between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Dallas Cowboys gets underway, the home team has one worldwide fan present at the stadium today. Elon Musk, who's known for his role as the CEO of company Tesla and the owner of Twitter, is at the Acrisure Stadium.
The game was delayed for an hour and a half due to severe weather around the area, with plenty of lightning going on and rain pouring as well. Still, the game kicked off with almost no empty seats and a huge noise coming from Steelers fans, including Musk.
He was spotted waving the "Terrible Towel", the most notable sign from Pittsburgh fans, right as the game started. Musk is known for being a fan of the franchise and was among other stars, such as Snoop Dogg, as they waited for the game to start after the weather delay.
The players returned to the field at around 9:25 PM, and the half-time is expected to come soon after 11 PM ET. The game will surely end after midnight, more than an hour later than expected by the Sunday Night Football standards.
How the Steelers found themselves with Russell Wilson and Justin Fields?
Russell Wilson's best days in the NFL are behind him. It's a very sharp decline and, with his advanced age and reduced mobility compared to his first years in the league, it's very unlikely that he will play at a good level again during any remaining period of his career.
For Fields, his development stalled badly in Chicago and a change of scenery was more than needed - well, with Caleb Williams on the roster, it was going to come anyway. With the Steelers, he got a fresh start and has led the team to an unlikely start, even though he has not been the superstar of the campaigning.
Wilson's calf injury is already a big problem when you look at what he's already missing when compared to his peak. Fields is making the most out of his new opportunity with the Steelers, while the Bears are struggling with Williams in his first year.
