Entering Week 2, the Pittsburgh Steelers, says head coach Mike Tomlin are “preparing as if” Justin Fields is going to be the starting quarterback against the Denver Broncos in the Mile High City.
Fields started for the Steelers in Week 1 in Atlanta due to Russell Wilson’s calf injury popping back up late last week, putting the veteran quarterback on the bench. Fortunately for the Steelers, Fields helped pilot Pittsburgh to an 18-10 win on the leg of kicker Chris Boswell and the backs of a dominant defensive performance.
Entering Week 2, Wilson is still hurt, and Fields played well enough to stick in the starting lineup.
