During Week 5, Justin Fields had an opportunity to take a firm hold of the starting quarterback job for the Pittsburgh Steelers. They had a primetime game against the Dallas Cowboys, who were also missing some of their best defenders. Fields didn’t have an awful game, but it was not a great performance. That, coupled with back-to-back losses for the Steelers, has left the door open for Russell Wilson to reclaim the starting job. Ben Roethlisberger believes it’s still a little early to put Fields on the bench.
“I don’t think it’s time to pull the plug on Justin [Fields],” Roethlisberger said Monday on his podcast, Footbahlin’ with Ben Roethlisberger.
