The Pittsburgh Steelers are off to a 3-0 start to the 2024 season. And it’s been QB Justin Fields under center in all three games. It wasn’t what anyone pictured when head coach Mike Tomlin named Russell Wilson as the starter. But Wilson’s calf injury changed all that.
Now, the Steelers’ defense is the best in the league right now. They’re only allowing 8.7 points per game, the best in the league. The Steelers are scoring 17 points per game, which is 24th in the league. The defense is doing most of the heavy lifting while Fields and the offense are doing enough to put up the points necessary to win.
