Sorry, Cam Newton: You were wrong. The 2015 MVP award winner previously questioned the legitimacy of the Pittsburgh Steelers as the team headed into a tough road matchup against the Washington Commanders, citing that the Steelers' recent victories over the New York Giants and New York Jets proved nothing.

However, after Pittsburgh pulled off an impressive 28-27 victory in Washington, improving to 7-2 on the season, Newton refuses to admit he was wrong. In hilarious fashion, Newton is now questioning the Commanders' legitimacy.

While debating with Stephen A. Smith on ESPN's First Take about which scenario holds greater value—Russell Wilson's resurgence or Lamar Jackson's third MVP pursuit—Newton had this to say about the Wilson-led Steelers: "Can we get a meaningful win against a quality opponent?".

Newton acknowledged that Week 11's matchup against the Baltimore Ravens could be the proving ground for Pittsburgh, and for the first time, he's not wrong.

Fans of the Steel City can excitedly anticipate what is sure to be an outstanding AFC North showdown between the Steelers and Ravens in Week 11, taking place on November 17 at 1:00 PM EST.
