Alejandro Villanueva's decision to stand alone outside the tunnel during the national anthem on Sunday had a big impact on his online jersey sales.

As of Monday afternoon, the Pittsburgh Steelers offensive tackle and Army veteran had the team's top-selling jersey, and one of the best-selling jerseys across the NFL, on both Fanatics.com and NFLShop.com.

Villanueva didn't speak to reporters after the game, but fellow offensive tackle Chris Hubbard told Jacob Klinger of PennLive.com that he had no issue with his teammates waiting in the locker room.

"Al was cool with it, with whatever we went through. He was on board. That's Al, man," Hubbard said. "He's a good guy."
