After another week of slow starts, missed chances, and a lackluster running game, Pittsburgh Steelers QB Justin Fields can’t help but feel frustration. Though he maintained his steady and calm demeanor during his postgame press conference, Fields admitted it was frustrating not only to lose, but fall in the fashion Pittsburgh did, a 20-17 defeat against the Dallas Cowboys at home in a primetime setting.
“It’s definitely frustrating,” Fields said via the team’s website. “But it’s just ourselves, to be honest with you.”
Pittsburgh continued to make mistakes and not play detailed enough football. Though their only turnover came on the game’s final play, the Steelers missed downfield completions to TE Connor Heyward and WR Van Jefferson, struggled mightily on third down by finishing 3-of-12, and their running game averaged just 3.
