The Pittsburgh Steelers seem like switching to veteran quarterback Russell Wilson as their starter heading into the Week 7 matchup in opposition to the New York Jets on “Sunday Evening Soccer.”

Whether or not Fields is the starter or not, Steelers followers have to understand the previous first-round choose’s humility.
Now, he’ll watch Wilson as the previous Tremendous Bowl champion prepares to start out his first recreation of the season after recovering from his calf harm.
Regardless of not having a profitable stint with the Denver Broncos, Wilson did throw 26 landing passes with simply eight interceptions final season.
The nine-time Professional Bowler now will get one other likelihood to show he can carry out properly and win video games on this league.
If he didn’t present that capability in observe, head coach Mike Tomlin probably wouldn’t be beginning him after what Fields has finished by way of the primary six video games.
Wilson must surpass what Fields did if he needs to earn the followers’ approval within the Metal Metropolis.
Fields recorded 10 whole touchdowns and threw only one interception throughout his stretch because the starter.
If Wilson can carry out that method and never flip the ball over, Pittsburgh might have an actual likelihood at contending for a playoff spot within the AFC due to how its protection has carried out.
