QB Justin Fields spent all summer trying to prove he was capable of being the starter for the Pittsburgh Steelers. While the Steelers announced QB Russell Wilson was the starter, it was Fields who took the field for Week 1 due to more calf problems for Wilson. He did help the Steelers to an 18-10 win over the Atlanta Falcons and made some key plays.
However, Fields didn’t blow anyone away with his performance. He did not throw or run for a touchdown as the offense only engineered field goal opportunities for K Chris Boswell, the AFC’s special teams Player of the Week.
