It was neither a good performance nor a bad performance for quarterback Justin Fields in his debut for the Pittsburgh Steelers Friday in the preseason opener against the Houston Texans.
What is was though was average with some positive signs and some negative signs. He didn’t stand out in any major way, nor did he fall flat. Ultimately, he didn’t do enough to truly push for the starting job, at least right now in the Steel City, in what is very much a QB competition.
He’ll have more opportunities to do so, but in a first look, it wasn’t needling moving.
