PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson showed his appreciation for his offensive line by showering them with gifts this holiday season. 

In a video posted to the Steelers' X account on Tuesday, the team revealed what Wilson gifted his teammates on the offensive line. They each received a $10,000 Airbnb gift card, a Louis Vuitton duffel bag in Steelers colors, custom shoes from Wilson's men's clothing brand and a bottle of his wife Ciara's Ten To One Rum. The Steelers have 12 offensive linemen on their active roster

But Wilson's gift-giving was not exclusive to the offensive line. Every player and coach received the shoes from Wilson's men's clothing brand, Good Man Brand. 

Quarterbacks gifting their offensive line much-see hauls for the holidays has become an NFL tradition. This year, quarterback Joe Burrow gifted his Cincinnati Bengals O-line authentic Japanese Katana swords, while Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes gave his offensive line a gift package that includes a Rolex and Yeti cooler.

Wilson and the Steelers face Mahomes and the Chiefs at Acrisure Stadium on Christmas Day at 1 p.m. The game will be on KDKA-TV locally, but Netflix is set to stream the game to its large subscriber base, the streaming service's first time airing a game. 

The Steelers have played twice on Christmas Day and have never lost. 

Against the Chiefs, the Steelers have an all-time record of 25-14. Mahomes has a 3-0 record against the Steelers.
