Justin Fields seems to be making friends and supporters in all the right places. Two-time Super Bowl champion, Steelers Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger believes the only stat Pittsburgh should hold Fields accountable for is win-loss record.
While Fields posted his worst passer rating of the 2024 season in Week 6, the Steelers’ young QB made up for it with his athletic prowess: 11 carries for 59 yards and two rushing touchdowns.
Roethlisberger praised Fields’ ability to keep the Steelers winning, talking about what he does right on his podcast: Football with Ben Roethlisberger: “What he did with his arm, what he did with his legs, I found it really, really impressive.” He also added that it would take about two horrible turnovers to give the starting duties back to Russell Wilson.
Is Roethlisberger correct in his assessment, or should Pittsburgh’s success really be attributed to the defense? Only time will tell, but former Walter Payton 2020 Man of the Year Wilson could push Fields to reach even higher levels.
