Justin Fields played fine against the Atlanta Falcons in the Pittsburgh Steelers’ season opener. He completed 17 of 23 pass attempts for 156 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions. It wasn’t anything special, but it got the job done in an 18-10 Steelers win.
Former NFL quarterback Dan Orlovsky has been a Justin Fields proponent all offseason, harping on the fact that he should be the starting quarterback over Russell Wilson. While all but four of Fields’ pass attempts were over 10 yards from the line of scrimmage, Dan Orlovsky still criticized the quarterback for his struggles in the “quick game” against the Falcons.
