After deploying it for three snaps on Sunday, the Pittsburgh Steelers subbed off Russell Wilson and used the Justin Fields package even more on Thursday. Unfortunately, it’s effectiveness varied and it wasn’t enough of a spark to propel Pittsburgh to a road victory. Despite the loss and plenty of questions that stem from it, Russell Wilson isn’t second-guessing how the Steelers are – or aren’t – using him.
Speaking to reporters after the game, Wilson admitted he never likes to leave the field but understands the team-first approach.
“We’re trying to make plays, we’re trying to do different things,” Wilson said post-game via the team’s website.
