The Pittsburgh Steelers' acquisition of Justin Fields has been accelerated due to Russell Wilson's calf injury, leading to Fields taking on a more prominent role as the starting quarterback. Despite a slow start with only one touchdown in two games, Fields has shown improvement in his passing game and has been effective in managing the offense. The Steelers are simplifying the passing attack, allowing Fields to complete a career-high percentage of passes while minimizing mistakes. However, the team struggles with rushing touchdowns despite a solid running game.
- Justin Fields is adapting to a simplified passing game, leading to improved completion rates.
- Fields has shown potential as both a passer and a runner, but the Steelers' offense still lacks rushing touchdowns.
- The quarterback situation with Russell Wilson remains amicable, with Fields focusing on winning rather than controversy.
