Aditi Kinkhabwala: Justin Fields Respects, But Doesn’t ‘Bow Down’ to Russell Wilson

One of the biggest topics ahead of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 2024 season was their quarterback situation. In 2023, despite their 10-7 record and playoff berth, the quarterback situation was painful. Pittsburgh knew they had to make a change, and as a result, they brought in Justin Fields and Russell Wilson.

Both were veterans, but Wilson, being 35 and having a much more complete career resume, won the starting job. He had that job until just a few days before the first game of the season when a re-aggravated calf injury caused him to miss some time. Fields then stepped in and has done very well since.
