Steelers QB Justin Fields got his first start in Pittsburgh on Friday night against the Houston Texans. It may have been only the first preseason game, but it was a chance for Steelers fans to see Fields take on another team for the first time. He completed 5 of his 6 pass attempts for 67 yards, and that lone incompletion came while targeting WR Van Jefferson and could have been challenged. At least, Fields thinks Jefferson got his feet down before he was shoved out of bounds.
But Fields’ night was far from perfect. He had two fumbles during the snap with C Nate Herbig and also was sacked twice.
