We aren't sure if Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin was being serious or not but he is really trying to confuse everyone about the starting quarterback position. Last week Tomlin benched Justin Fields in favor of Russell Wilson before the team blew out the New York Jets on Sunday night.

Now the Steelers are preparing to square off with the New York Giants on Monday Night Football and Tomlin said in his Tuesday presser that he hasn't committed to a starting quarterback for this week.

"He's scheduled to take first-team reps tomorrow, and we'll see where that leads us," Tomlin said.

Seriously? Could there even be an argument about who the starting quarterback is? This feels like Tomlin trying really hard to make the Giants prepare for Fields to be the starting quarterback even though there's no chance it actually happens.

Last week we expected to see Fields against the Jets in some packages but it didn't happen. It sounds like he is hoping to create the same type of doubt this week.
