QB Justin Fields only played three series in the Pittsburgh Steelers’ preseason opener loss, but in the first two drives, Fields and center Nate Herbig had snap issues, causing two fumbles. After the Steelers’ 20-12 loss, Mike Tomlin said that both Fields and Herbig are responsible for the miscues, calling them “unacceptable.”
“I thought [Fields] did some nice things, but obviously he was a component of the [center-quarterback] exchange. And from my perspective, that’s dual responsibility on the center and the quarterback. It negated a lot of good things going on in those first couple drives,” Tomlin said in his post-game press conference via Steelers.
