While the Pittsburgh Steelers are sitting at an impressive 2-0, it is clear to see that on these given Sundays, the defense is winning these games.

Whether it's designed quarterback runs, RPOs, play-action passes, or even simple snaps under center, Justin Fields just looks uncomfortable.  One can make the argument that Fields has done more to lose these two games than he did to win them, and one only has to look at his three near-fumble snap exchanges thus far to see that.

The topic of the Bears failing Justin Fields has been brought up recently due to the early struggles of rookie Caleb Williams, but why aren't people talking about how the Broncos failed Russell Wilson?  His stat line on the season was modest, but still impressive considering how awful the Broncos were in 2023: 26 touchdowns, 8 interceptions, and 98.0 passer rating.

The Pittsburgh Steelers need the former MVP candidate and Super Bowl 48 winner, Russell Wilson, back from injury ASAP, as a Steelers insider has revealed that Fields will hold onto the quarterback position at least until after the Week 3 game against the Los Angeles Chargers.
