Russell Wilson won the quarterback battle this summer, but he’s yet to take an actual snap for the Pittsburgh Steelers. In his place, Justin Fields has played good, turnover-free football, and he’s making a case to keep the starting quarterback job. Mike Tomlin will have a difficult decision to make once Wilson is healthy. NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero believes Wilson won’t be handed the job back just because he won that initial competition.
Appearing Monday on the Rich Eisen Show, Pelissero explained why he believes Fields could keep the job.
“With Justin Fields, you’re not being inundated with, ‘It’s not good enough,'” Pelissero said.
