There was a lot of excitement around Justin Fields’ first in-game action with the Pittsburgh Steelers, but things didn’t exactly go great. Fields wasn’t terrible, but some of the mistakes that held him back in Chicago were again present. Beyond two botched exchanges, the most obvious problem was being sacked twice. In three years of play, Fields has been sacked 135 times and while some of those are the offensive line’s fault, many can also be attributed to him. Based on that issue, former NFL linebacker Bart Scott makes an unfortunate comparison.
Appearing on ESPN’s Get Up, Scott compared Fields to Tim Tebow, whom he was teammates with while members of the New York Jets.
