The past year has been a strange one for Justin Fields. He played decent football for the Chicago Bears, but ultimately, they traded him to the Pittsburgh Steelers in March. Then, he was slated to be the backup, until Russell Wilson suffered a calf injury. Fields was thrust into the starting role at the last minute, and he did an admirable job. Now, he’s back on the bench, but he’s never complained. Former NFL linebacker Emmanuel Acho believes Fields deserves more credit for the Steelers’ success.
“Justin Fields got benched at 4-2 when the name of the game is winning,” Acho said Wednesday on FS1’s The Facility.
