In his preseason debut with the Pittsburgh Steelers, quarterback Justin Fields struggled, completing five of six passes for 67 yards but failing to lead the offense to any points. He rushed three times for two yards and had two fumbles, both of which were recovered by his own team. Fields started the game while Russell Wilson was sidelined due to a calf injury, but his performance did not help his case in the ongoing quarterback competition.

• Justin Fields had a rocky start in his first preseason game with the Steelers.
• Russell Wilson's absence due to injury opened the door for Fields to showcase his skills.
