The Pittsburgh Steelers declared Russell Wilson their starter and captain, but Justin Fields started the season opener. He played and he won but did he do enough to Wally Pipp Mr. Unlimited? Certainly not—not in the eyes of Chris Hoke, who attempts to answer the question through Mike Tomlin’s eyes. During the KDKA Extra Point show after the Steelers’ 18-10 win over the Atlanta Falcons, he was emphatic in his belief of who will start next Sunday.
“Russell Wilson, no question about it. There’s no question about it in my mind”, Hoke said, about the Steelers’ starter.
