‘I Thought I Had It’: Justin Fields Explains His Premature Slide Short Of First Down

Once Nick Herbig and Joey Porter Jr. teamed up to shut down Lamar Jackson’s two-point conversion attempt with just over a minute left in the game, it seemed pretty certain that the Pittsburgh Steelers would win. But three timeouts and one of the best field goal kickers in NFL history gave the Baltimore Ravens a small chance if they could force a three-and-out. The Steelers turned to Justin Fields to help ice the game and extend their recent dominance of the Ravens.

On 2nd and 11, Fields came in and perfectly executed a read option to pull the ball and run for the first down.
