Controversy surrounded the decision for the Pittsburgh Steelers to start quarterback Russell Wilson in place of Justin Fields when the former Super Bowl winner returned from injury.

Wilson didn’t impress during his previous stop with the Denver Broncos between 2022 and 2023, and Fields had the Steelers off to a 4-2 start. Two games in, Wilson kept the critics silent amid a 26-18 win over the New York Giants (2-6) on Monday despite a slow start.
