For all this offseason put him through, Justin Fields is one of nine quarterbacks who are 2-0 this season. Nominally the backup, he has navigated the Pittsburgh Steelers to two victories through a constant cloud of doubt. It may be that most of all that is impressing his teammates.
“I think [Justin Fields has] handled it well”, Steelers ILB Patrick Queen said, via the team’s website. “Especially with the position he’s been put in and how the media tries to treat him and all the other different stuff. I couldn’t be more proud of him”.
The 11th-overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, Justin Fields posted a 10-28 record over three years in Chicago.
