Steelers legend Ben Roethlisberger impressed by Justin Fields sideline throw
Footbahlin with Ben Roethlisberger, a podcast by the future hall-of-fame quarterback and Pittsburgh Steelers legend, is never without intrigue, and this was especially true in the most recent episode. Ben offered his reactions to the entirety of the Broncos game, but one aspect in particular, specifically a play made by Justin Fields, had the Steelers legend in awe.
Big Ben on Justin Fields throw to George Pickens that got called back:
“The deep ball that Justin threw on the run to the right Unbelievable throw unbelievable catch.”

The issue has never been Fields' arm or quickness, or any athletic qualities for that matter. Consistency is key, and Steelers fans hope Fields can play consistently well rather than complacently moving forward.
Fields is on track to start this week against the Los Angeles Chargers, but his future as the Steelers' starter when or if Russell Wilson comes back from injury remains to be seen.
