Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin was critical of quarterback Justin Fields' role in two fumbled snaps during the team's 20-12 preseason loss to the Houston Texans on Friday.

According to ESPN's Brooke Pryor, Tomlin suggested that much of the success Fields had was canceled out by the miscues, saying: "I thought he did some nice things. But obviously he was a component of the C-Q exchange, and from my perspective that's dual responsibility on the center and the quarterback. It negated a lot of good things going on in those first couple of drives.
