For the man who loves seemingly everything, there’s one thing Pittsburgh Steelers QB Russell Wilson hates. The NFL’s slide rule. Now a funny moment looking back on an 18-16 win, Justin Fields nearly made a major mistake trying to close out the Steelers’ win over the Baltimore Ravens Sunday.

Inserted into the game for the second time as Pittsburgh deployed its Fields package for the first time this season, Fields took a zone read left side on 2nd and 10 from his own 30 with one minute left. With a clear lane, Fields had ample running room for a first down that would’ve ended the game.
