Tomlin isn't ready to announce whether Russell Wilson or Justin Fields will start.
Russell Wilson and Justin Fields will have to wait a little longer to find out who won the Pittsburgh Steelers' quarterback competition.
Mike Tomlin on the QB competition. He won’t anoint Russell Wilson as the starter until later in the week.Most observers think Wilson has won the job with a steady preseason. During a 24-17 loss to the Detroit Lions on Saturday, Wilson led a 60-yard scoring drive to open the game. He completed 2 of 2 passes for 26 yards, including a 32-yard third-down strike to George Pickens. That followed up a pass to Pickens that lost six yards.
Fields has been shaky this preseason and that continued on Saturday. He completed 3 of 4 passes for 40 yards, but was sacked twice. He finished the preseason going 19-for-27 for 199 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in three games.The Chicago Bears selected Fields with the 11th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft and started him for three seasons. He showed flashes of brilliance but never found consistency. The Steelers landed him in exchange for a sixth-round pick in the 2025 draft.
