Justin Fields didn’t make any costly mistakes for the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 1, but he was still far from perfect. His strengths were evident, but his accuracy and decision making were still questionable. It looks like he’s going to start in Week 2, so he has a chance to improve on his initial performance. If he plays well enough, he may even keep Russell Wilson on the bench. However, analyst Stephen A. Smith doesn’t believe the starting quarterback job belongs to Fields yet.
“That was gonna be Russell Wilson’s job until they learned that he had agitated his calf, and he couldn’t play,” Smith said on a recent episode of ESPN’s First Take.
