Justin Fields got plenty of time to take center stage for the Pittsburgh Steelers for the past several weeks. Because of Russell Wilson’s calf injury, Fields took the vast majority of first-team snaps, Wilson only back full recently. Even local reporters acknowledge that he has opened some eyes—including their own.
Yet we can’t ignore the fact that the Steelers have only scored three points during Justin Fields’ playing time. At this point, he has probably played close to a full game, including most of last night’s 9-3 loss. If he wants to steal the Steelers’ starting quarterback job from Russell Wilson, he knows he needs to show more.
