The Pittsburgh Steelers dropped their preseason opener to the Houston Texans, 20-12, and while starting QB Justin Fields didn’t lead any scoring drives, it was a good experience for him to get snaps in a game environment with a new team in a new offense. After the game, Fields told reporters that it was good for him to have “in-game experience’ with offensive coordinator Arthur Smith and quarterbacks coach Tom Arth.
“I mean, you can kind of get a feel on what Arthur’s thinking, how he goes about the game, how he just communicates with you on the sidelines and stuff like that.
