In a game marked by penalties and turnovers, Justin Fields provided the stability the Steelers needed, playing 60 minutes of turnover-free football to lead his team to a 13-6 win over the Broncos. Fields’ stats may not have been flashy, but he did what was necessary to secure the win, completing 13 of 20 passes for 117 yards and a touchdown. His poise and leadership earned him the Steelers Digest Player of the Week honor.
Fields’ performance was complemented by strong showings from his teammates. George Pickens drew several key penalties, while T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith made significant contributions on defense. DeShon Elliott led the team in tackles, and Cory Trice Jr. and Damontae Kazee sealed the win with crucial interceptions. Najee Harris also had a solid game, rushing for 69 yards and catching a pass for 5 more yards.
The Steelers’ win may not have been pretty, but it showcased the team’s resilience and ability to adapt. With Fields at the helm, the Steelers are proving to be a formidable opponent, even when their offense isn’t firing on all cylinders. As they move forward, the team will look to build on this momentum and continue to make strides on both sides of the ball.
