The Steelers defeated one of their former quarterbacks yesterday, but the other, Russell Wilson, may have defeated himself. Justin Fields, on the whole, played a very good game, and put 32 points on Pittsburgh. Were it not for a special teams turnover that led to seven points, he might easily have beaten the Steelers.
Russell Wilson didn’t look like he could beat his way through the wet end of a paper bag yesterday. In his New York Giants debut, he went 17-for-37 for 168 yards, averaging 4.5 yards per attempt. While he didn’t throw an interception, he didn’t throw a touchdown, either.
