Louis Riddick: At Some Point, Steelers Will Opt For Justin Fields’ ‘Ad-Lib Ability’ Over Russell Wilson

With Russell Wilson’s return to the preseason lineup, the quarterback competition between him and Justin Fields was supposed to heat up. But the offense as a whole was ice cold last night against the Buffalo Bills. The Steelers converted just four of their 13 attempts on third down and zero of their three attempts on fourth. This left the offense out of rhythm and makes the quarterback evaluation difficult to take away anything meaningful from.

If there was any spark on offense, it was Fields and his improvisational ability while either running the ball or escaping pressure with his legs to keep plays alive.
