Justin Fields, not Russell Wilson, appears more likely to be the Pittsburgh Steelers' quarterback in Week 1 against the Atlanta Falcons.
Falcons defensive coordinator Jimmy Lake, who met with reporters Thursday at team headquarters in Flowery Branch, noted Pittsburgh's quarterback situation is interesting, but Atlanta's defense is prepared for any curveballs thrown its way.
"We are definitely ready for all scenarios," Lake said. "That's what our job is. Two quarterbacks that have won in this league, one that's played for a lot longer and has won the Super Bowl. They both have positive attributes that we have to be ready for. "That's just part of this league. There's really good football players across all 32 teams. Every team is going to cause a problem that we have to deal with, and this is just one of them."for 3,070 yards, 26 touchdowns and eight interceptions across 15 games with the Denver Broncos last season.

He also rushed for 657 yards and four touchdowns. Fields also lost 10 fumbles, though he ran considerably more than Wilson.Daniel Flick is an accredited NFL writer for Sports Illustrated's FanNation.
