Though Justin Fields has slowly been building up steam to remain the Pittsburgh Steelers starting quarterback, his 55-yard touchdown over the middle to Calvin Austin III may have cemented his job. The biggest play of the season and frankly, arguably of Fields’ NFL career given the gravity of what a win Sunday meant, Fields zipped a throw over the middle to Austin in the fourth quarter. Perfectly placed, Austin did the rest, turning on the jets and out-running the Chargers’ defense for the score.
Speaking to reporters after the game, Fields discussed what he saw.
“Huge play,” Fields said via the team website.
