A new role: Linebacker Payton Wilson went out to midfield on Sunday night for the coin toss as the special teams captain for the game, assuming the role that was held by Miles Killebrew before he went out with a season-ending knee injury.

It's a role Wilson takes seriously and is proud to represent the unit.

"In our Wednesday team meeting, they told us in the team meeting," said Wilson of when he found out. "So just really honored about that. Thanks to Coach (Mike) Tomlin. Thanks to Miles, he's a great leader. He's been a great role model. So just hopefully I can fill his role."

"We got in the team meeting on Wednesday. Coach Tomlin went over it and then it went on from there. It's a great blessing and a great honor."

Wilson understands it comes with responsibility
