Steelers Face QB Dilemma Before Jets Game

The Pittsburgh Steelers are facing a significant quarterback controversy as they prepare to play the New York Jets, with a decision looming between Justin Fields and Russell Wilson. Coach Mike Tomlin remains undecided publicly, though Russell Wilson's return to health and his taking first-team reps suggest he may start. Justin Fields, who filled in during Wilson's injury, has led the team to a 4-2 record, earning praise from former Steelers legends Ben Roethlisberger and Terry Bradshaw, both advocating for Fields to retain the starting role. Fields acknowledged areas for improvement, yet his athletic performance has been solid, throwing five touchdowns and rushing for five more this season. Tomlin's decision is complicated by Wilson's proven track record and experience, which some argue could elevate the team's average receiver core. As the Steelers approach their Week 7 game, Tomlin's choice remains crucial, with Wilson's experience being weighed against Fields' recent success.
