Based on how the Pittsburgh Steelers and head coach Mike Tomlin handled the quarterback situation Saturday against the Detroit Lions in the preseason finale at Ford Field, Russell Wilson is the starting quarterback, and there was never any question about that.
Wilson played just five snaps against the Lions before giving way to Justin Fields. While Tomlin wouldn’t state outright who the starting quarterback is for the Steelers after the game, adding that he would make the decision later this wee, it’s pretty clear based on actions who the starter is for Week 1 on the road in Atlanta on Sept.
