The biggest moment so far in the Pittsburgh Steelers’ season did not come on a football field. Not originally, at least. The Steelers were 4-2 with QB Justin Fields as the starter. Yet head coach Mike Tomlin made the decision to make the switch to Russell Wilson ahead of the game versus the New York Jets.
The results so far validate Tomlin’s decision. The Steelers are 3-0 with Wilson under center. He’s thrown six touchdowns (and ran for another) while only throwing one interception. And he became the first Steelers quarterback since Ben Roethlisberger to throw three touchdowns in a single game.
