‘I Absolutely Hate It’: Former NFL WR Critical Of Justin Fields Packages Taking Russell Wilson Off The Field

Since the Pittsburgh Steelers turned to veteran QB Russell Wilson as their starter, the talk about there being a special package for backup QB Justin Fields has gotten louder and louder.

It reached a crescendo last Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens as the Steelers finally dusted off the Fields package and had some success with it.

On a short week against the Cleveland Browns on Thursday Night Football, they utilized the package of Fields even more, which led to some frustrating results and left many questioning some coaching decisions.

While Fields did have a nice 30-yard run, he also was on the field for a failed 3rd and 4, looking deep to George Pickens on a low-percentage throw in a big spot, a spot for which Russell Wilson should have been on the field.
