After weeks of speculation, the Pittsburgh Steelers deployed their Justin Fields package Sunday in an 18-16 win over the Baltimore Ravens. Fields trotted out for three plays, including the final two non-kneel downs, securing a crucial first down to ice the win. Speaking to reporters today, Fields revealed that he was supposed to play the week before against the Washington Commanders.
“I was about to go in last week in the Commanders’ game, but we held it up until this week,” Fields said via the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
It’s not clear what situation Fields was supposed to take the field for.
