For better or worse, the Justin Fields’ package is in full effect in Pittsburgh. And there was a mix of both. First used for three snaps against the Baltimore Ravens, Fields’ role doubled Thursday night against the Cleveland Browns. Some plays ended well, like his 30-yard zone read along the right sideline. Others fell flat, like a 4th and 2 failed quarterback run and 3rd and 4 deep-ball incompletion for WR George Pickens. In those limited reps, Fields has done a bit of everything. Run, throw, hand the ball off. Ben Roethlisberger believes wide receiver should come next.
Discussing how the Steelers should use Fields going forward, Roethlisberger thinks the more looks the offense can present a defense, the better.
