Russell Wilson: ‘I Believe That Justin Fields Is A Franchise Quarterback’

Justin Fields took the field Sunday for the first time since the Pittsburgh Steelers turned to Russell Wilson at quarterback. He played just three snaps, all running plays, including two keepers of his own. He recorded two successful runs for his efforts, though one much more so than the other, practically speaking.

Regardless of the results, he clearly has the support of the man he kept the seat warm for. Russell Wilson praised Justin Fields after Sunday’s game for helping the Steelers beat the Baltimore Ravens. His two carries provided the team with necessary healthy gains when behind the chains on second down.
