For the first time in four games, the Steelers did not use Justin Fields. Over a three-game span, their backup quarterback logged 12 snaps on offense, rushing six times and throwing one pass. On the whole, the Justin Fields package hasn’t been overwhelmingly successful, but it’s had its moments.
On Sunday against the Cleveland Browns, however, the Steelers apparently felt that moment ever arose. After playing seven snaps against Cleveland the first time around, Fields didn’t see any in the rematch. That doesn’t mean the Steelers didn’t have a plan in place for him—it just means that they didn’t use it.
