‘They Believe In Russ For A Reason:’ Fittipaldo Doesn’t Think Tomlin Would Bench Wilson For Justin Fields

When Mike Tomlin initially made the change from Justin Fields to Russell Wilson, he received a ton of criticism. However, that ended up proving to be the correct decision, with Wilson elevating the Steelers’ offense over his first few starts. Despite that, after their four-game losing streak, some people want Fields to replace Wilson as the starter. Wilson has seemed to regress over the past few games, but Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette doesn’t believe that’s likely to happen.

“I don’t really foresee that unless there was like a really, really bad start,” Fittipaldo said Thursday on radio station 93.
