In the last game the Pittsburgh Steelers played, Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson burned their defense up. That might only help Pittsburgh win its next game Sunday against the New York Jets. Game-planning for Jackson twice per season makes readying for the mobile Justin Fields a little bit easier. On paper, anyway.
“They’re both similar,” Highsmith said comparing Jackson to Fields in a post-practice scrum with reporters via the team website. “Like I said, we get that experience against Lamar. So I think it’ll definitely help us this week against Justin.”
Pittsburgh has had among the most success against Jackson, a two-time MVP winner, than other teams.
