Justin Fields Gives Steelers Best Chance To Beat Falcons, Beat Writer Says

Though the Pittsburgh Steelers have a daunting end to their schedule, the beginning isn’t a cakewalk either. The team’s Week 1 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons is only looking harder after the Falcons loaded up on defensive talent in S Justin Simmons and EDGE Matthew Judon while the Steelers’ offense is dealing with injuries to close the summer. RB Jaylen Warren’s status is questionable for the opener while two tackles are hurt – Troy Fautanu with a knee injury, Broderick Jones struggling through an elbow problem. Given all that, ESPN beat writer Brooke Pryor thinks Justin Fields should emerge as the Steelers’ top option.
