Ben Roethlisberger would keep starting Justin Fields over Russell Wilson moving forward.
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Justin Fields, right, takes a snap as quarterback Russell Wilson waits his turn during warm ups before an NFL football game against the Los Angeles Chargers in Pittsburgh, Sunday, Sept. 22, 2024.Former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger says the team should keep starting Justin Fields, even if Russell Wilson is getting close to being fully healthy.
Fields led the Steelers to a hot 3-0 start, but the team has lost the last two games after slow starts and an inability to finish games on both sides of the football. Even throughout that stretch, Fields has not turned the ball over and still has thrown just one interception. However, he had three turnover-worthy plays against the Cowboys, which is by far a season-high for the former Ohio State quarterback.
Yead coach Mike Tomlin has said for weeks that he will decide who will be the starting quarterback when the time comes for that, and as Wilson rounds the corner into getting fully healthy, it seems Week 6 could be when that decision is made.
