Steelers' Tomlin: Justin Fields 'Respectful of' Russell Wilson and 'Doesn't Bow Down'

As the Pittsburgh Steelers are off to a 2-0 start with Justin Fields at quarterback, head coach Mike Tomlin explained why Fields and Russell Wilson get along well behind the scenes.

During the CBS broadcast of Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos (h/t ESPN's Brooke Pryor), Tomlin noted that Fields is "respectful of" Wilson.

"He's been respectful of Russ," Tomlin said. "He doesn't bow down to Russ."

Wilson was expected to be the starter in Pittsburgh, but a calf injury has kept him out of action for the first two games of the season.
