All signs are pointing toward Russell Wilson starting at quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers this week. Justin Fields hasn’t been incredible, but he did help the Steelers win four games. It seems like Mike Tomlin wants the offense to perform better, though, so Fields will likely go to the bench. Wilson won’t have an easy first test against the New York Jets, either. Their defense is legit. Former NFL quarterback Dan Orlovsky believes Tomlin could lose the locker room if Wilson performs poorly and the Steelers lose this week.
“I think if they go to [Wilson] and they lose in Sunday Night Football to the Jets, it’s really hard to look at your locker room,” Orlovsky said Wednesday on ESPN’s NFL Live.
