The Pittsburgh Steelers will likely start Justin Fields at quarterback for the second straight week, and Fields’ ability with his legs has the Denver Broncos treating him like a running back. Sean Payton said Friday that’s how the team will defend Fields.
“Obviously, we’re playing someone this week who’s very mobile. So I think when we talk about defending the run, that includes the quarterback this week like a running back,” Payton told reporters via the Broncos’ Twitter account.
Fields ran the ball a lot in Week 1 and was good with his legs, totaling 14 carries for 57 yards against the Falcons last week.
