Before the regular season started, Russell Wilson was named the Pittsburgh Steelers’ starting quarterback. However, after Wilson was forced to miss the first three games due to an injury, Justin Fields may have earned the job. Against the Los Angeles Chargers, he didn’t look like a backup quarterback. He made plays that won the Steelers the game.
“I think [Fields] has looked as good as he’s looked in his career,” former NFL quarterback Matt Ryan said Monday on CBS Sports HQ. “I think he’s playing with confidence. Even hearing him talk after the game, I just feel like he’s comfortable within his own skin and confident in his own abilities.
