The Pittsburgh Steelers started QB Justin Fields in Week 1 over Russell Wilson due to Wilson re-aggravating a calf injury, but if Fields leads the Steelers to a Week 2 win, he might win the job for a longer period of time. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin might ride the “hot hand” with Fields if he wins in Week 2.
If Fields can successfully execute the game plan, Rapoport said he might continue to start.
“If that happens, don’t be surprised if Tomlin continues to have Fields start, sources say, even if Wilson has recovered from his aggravated calf injury.
