Due to the calf injury for veteran starting quarterback Russell Wilson popping up late in the week in preparation for the season opener against the Atlanta Falcons, backup quarterback Justin Fields got the start Sunday inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium and helped pilot the Steelers to an 18-10 win.
Fields completed 17-of-23 passes for 150 yards and added 14 carries for 57 yards in the win, settling down after a rough first two drives that featured some bad misses on passes and a fumbled snap on the first play of the game for the Steelers offensively.
