Perspective Of An Average Steelers Fan: Russ Cooks, ’74 Team Honored

Mike Tomlin played coy, but everyone knew that Russell Wilson would start his first game as a Pittsburgh Steeler. Many critics consider Tomlin too conservative. That he projects “don’t live in your fears” unto himself. But this is a bold move. Justin Fields led the team to a 4-2 start. He’s thrown five touchdown passes and scored five more on the ground. And he’s largely corrected his turnover problem. Fields has just one interception and one lost fumble although he has fumbled six times this season. If the Steelers lose or even win by a low score, we’ll hear fans screaming why did Tomlin make the change.
