‘Mike Told Me To Prepare For Justin Fields, So We Did’: Raheem Morris Responds To Tomlin’s Warning

After naming Russell Wilson the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Week 1 starter at quarterback, Mike Tomlin warned Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris that he “better be ready” for a Justin Fields package of plays. It is unclear if that was a bit of gamesmanship, or a genuine warning since everybody probably already saw it coming.

Morris responded to that during his Wednesday press conference, and it seems like he is also wondering if Tomlin was just pulling his chain and forcing him to waste some practice time.

“Mike [Tomlin] told me to prepare for Justin Fields, so we did,” Morris said in a video posted on the Falcons’ YouTube channel.
