During Sunday’s game, quarterback Will Howard does what he does best: cheering his team on to victory. The team faced off against the division rival Cincinnati Bengals in a highly anticipated Week 3 matchup. However, Howard was officially ruled out ahead of kickoff and placed on the inactive list.

The second-year signal-caller sat out purely due to a strategic decision by the front office. He dressed for the game but only served as the designated emergency third quarterback on Sunday.

Somehow, he would still make headlines while on the sidelines.

Will Howard Got Caught With Zyns Stuffed in His Game Pants

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Will Howard sparked a massive viral moment on social media during Sunday’s game. Sharp-eyed fans noticed a very distinct outline bulging through the fabric of his white uniform trousers. Consequently, football enthusiasts quickly deduced that he had tucked a container of nicotine pouches into his pants.

A popular Steelers fan account on X posted an image pointing out the obvious circular shape. They hilariously questioned if he was the first quarterback in franchise history to carry Zyns during play.

The moment was good enough for one fan to want him as QB1 over Aaron Rodgers.

The Pittsburgh Steelers secured a thrilling 30-27 victory over the rival Cincinnati Bengals at Acrisure Stadium on Sunday. Veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers silenced critics by throwing for 292 yards and three explosive touchdowns. Running back Jaylen Warren paced the offense by racking up an impressive 127 rushing yards.

As for Wil Howard, he has never appeared in an NFL regular-season game during his professional career. He spent his entire 2025 rookie season on the injured reserve list due to a fractured thumb. Consequently, the young signal-caller has exclusively logged playing time during the preseason exhibition matchups for Pittsburgh.
