Justin Fields had a lot of momentum going into the game against the Dallas Cowboys, but a loss in primetime has left the door open for Russell Wilson to return as the starter. It wasn’t Fields’ fault that the Pittsburgh Steelers lost, but he also didn’t do anything spectacular to put them ahead. Former NFL general manager Michael Lombardi believes that Fields struggles as a passer in big moments, and that will lead to Wilson regaining the starting job.
“Justin Fields, when he has to be the thrower, when he has to make plays throwing the football, it’s just not good enough,” Lombardi said recently on his podcast, The GM Shuffle.
