After a relatively strong start to the 2024 season for the Pittsburgh Steelers, fourth-year quarterback Justin Fields is coming off of worst performance of the season in Week 5.
Fields threw for just 131 yards on 15-of-27 passing against the Dallas Cowboys in a 20-17 loss. While he threw for two touchdowns on the night and didn’t turn the football over, the performance simply wasn’t good enough as he struggled to throw the ball accurately and wasn’t seeing the field all that well.
The struggles from the former first-round pick out of Ohio State come at an inopportune time for him as starting quarterback Russell Wilson gets close to full health, having been medically cleared two weeks ago and then telling the Sunday Night Football crew he’s hopeful to go in Week 6 against Las Vegas, but is eyeing Week 7 against the New York Jets in primetime.
