The Pittsburgh Steelers have a dilemma at the most important position after six weeks into the 2024 NFL season. The black and yellow team has four wins and two losses with Justin Fields leading the offense.
However, both head coach Mike Tomlin and Fields himself believe that the former Chicago Bears player has not played in the best way possible. This is where Russell Wilson comes in. The veteran quarterback has been inactive due to a calf injury, but is now healthy enough to compete for the starting job. The head coach has already made a decision on who will face the New York Jets at Acrisure Stadium, but he will not make it public.
“I’m ready, but, you know, I’ll keep it private,” Tomlin said when asked about revealing who will start against the Jets. “I think they have both been fine. “I think we had a productive week with both of them and as a complete unit.”
Everything seems to indicate that Fields will be relieved of his duties. During the week, Wilson practiced with the starters and on Thursday he was part of the press conferences reserved for the QB1.
Until now, Fields had 1,106 yards with five touchdowns and one interception. through the air after completing 66.3% of his throws. Additionally, he generated 231 yards and five touchdowns on the ground. Unfortunately, it leads the league with six fumbles in the same number of games and has suffered 16 sacks.
