It may have looked like a gamble when Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin made the quarterback switch in Week 7. QB Justin Fields was 4-2 starting in place of the injured Russell Wilson. However, since Wilson took over as the starter, the Steelers are 6-1.
The offensive numbers also back up Wilson’s record. Prior to Wilson taking over in Week 7 against the Jets, the Steelers had scored 20 or more points three times. They had only broken 30 points once. Under Wilson, they’ve scored at least 20 points five times and at least 30 points twice.
