Golic Jr.: Justin Fields’ Performance ‘Shut The Door On Russell Wilson Coming Back As The Starter’

The Pittsburgh Steelers trailed the Los Angeles Chargers 10-7 at halftime on Sunday. Then the defense locked the Chargers down and QB Justin Fields guided the Steelers to two fourth-quarter scoring drives. That included a 55-yard touchdown pass to WR Calvin Austin III. The battle of the undefeated ended with the Steelers standing tall at 3-0.

And another quality performance by Fields might mean he’s the one standing tall atop the quarterback depth chart for the foreseeable future. The assumption was that Fields was simply starting because of QB Russell Wilson’s injury. But with three wins to start the season and improving performances, Fields might not come off the field even when Wilson is fully healthy.
