‘We’re Gonna Do This:’ Calvin Austin III Explains How Mike Tomlin Eliminated Team’s Concerns After QB Switch

The Pittsburgh Steelers dealt with a ton of quarterback drama in 2024. First, it looked like Russell Wilson was going to be the starter. Then, he got injured and Justin Fields got a ton of work as the number one. Wilson was eventually named the starter, but his injury flared up, and Fields answered the call for the first six games. When Mike Tomlin benched Fields for Wilson after that, he received a lot of criticism. According to Calvin Austin III, some players might have felt just as uneasy about that decision, but Tomlin quickly assuaged their worries.
