Steelers Confirm Justin Fields as Starting Quarterback

The Pittsburgh Steelers suffered their first loss of the 2024 season against the Indianapolis Colts, falling 27-24, which leaves them at 3-1. Despite the loss, Coach Mike Tomlin confirmed that quarterback Justin Fields will start again in the upcoming game against the Dallas Cowboys, as he continues to demonstrate resilience and performance under pressure. Tomlin noted that while Russell Wilson is recovering from a calf injury and increasing his practice participation, Fields' strong showing in recent games makes a quarterback change unlikely at this time. The coach emphasized the importance of overcoming challenges, including officiating decisions that were criticized in the Colts game. Additionally, the team's injury list has grown, with guard James Daniels ruled out for the season due to an Achilles tear. The Steelers are focused on bouncing back against Dallas, with confidence in Fields' abilities to lead the team.
