The Pittsburgh Steelers are 2-0 after consecutive road wins to begin their season. The Steelers will have their first home game this Sunday when they host the Los Angeles Chargers in a battle of unbeaten teams. While there was expected speculation to continue on who the Steelers will go with at quarterback, it appears the speculation will be cut short.

Speaking in his weekly press conference on Tuesday, Mike Tomlin said the team is rolling with Justin Fields over Russell Wilson.

“We’re readying ourselves around Justin,” Tomlin said. “We’ll stay in that mindset until something happens.”

Through two games, Fields has thrown for 273 yards and one touchdown along with a 94 passer rating and completing just under 70 percent of his passes while adding 84 yards on the ground. Seeing that the offense has largely been successful at moving the ball downfield and establishing long drives, the Steelers are sticking with No. 2.
