He wasn’t asked to do too much, but Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Justin Fields did enough Sunday in Atlanta to help steer the Steelers to an 18-10 win over the Atlanta Falcons.
Fields found out just before the game that he was starting in place of the injured Russell Wilson, who popped up on the injury report last Thursday with the calf injury that was similar to the one he suffered in training camp. With Wilson out, Fields had to get ready in a hurry late in the week for the season opener.
To his credit, he played well enough, not trying to do too much while piloting the Steelers’ offense.
