There is no stat to show this, but if you added up the sum total of segments across ESPN, NFL Network, and other major media outlets, the quarterback competition in Pittsburgh has been one of the most talked about storylines over the last several months. It has reached a peak as of late with Mike Tomlin putting off the Week 1 starter announcement. Even if you really wanted to avoid hearing about that topic, it wouldn’t be easy to do so. But don’t tell that to Justin Fields.
“I mean, yeah, I feel like me and [Russell Wilson] really don’t pay attention to the outside stuff,” Fields said when asked about the chatter surrounding him and Wilson in a video posted by TribLive’s Chris Adamski on X.
