At one point last week, NFL Network reporter Ian Rapoport indicated that Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin planned to use quarterback Justin Fields in Sunday’s game against the New York Jets. This is despite Tomlin benching Fields in favor of Russell Wilson.

Despite this strong performance, Fields was benched in favor of veteran quarterback Russell Wilson, who returned from a calf injury. Wilson, signed by the Steelers after being released by the Broncos, led the team to a victory in Week 7 against the New York Jets, reigniting a debate about Pittsburgh's quarterback situation.
