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.
