The Pittsburgh Steelers have made their final call on whether Justin Fields or Russell Wilson will lead the team against the Baltimore Ravens in a crucial playoff matchup.

It didn’t take long for Justin Fields to make his NFL playoff debut. The Pittsburgh Steelers’ change-of-pace quarterback, Fields checked in for the third snap from scrimmage of Saturday night’s wild-card round game against the Baltimore Ravens.

In a high-stakes move, the Steelers have made their final decision on the quarterback situation between Justin Fields and Russell Wilson for the game against Ravens.

It could be a case of the Steelers wanting to re-sign Fields at the end of the season but don’t want to show too much of Fields so as to keep him off the radar of NFL teams eyeing a quarterback. This would allow the Steelers to potentially bring Fields back on the cheap to be the starter in 2025 and let Wilson walk.

That's the longest streak in NFL history. Quarterback Russell Wilson has averaged 174.5 passing yards per game, and accounted for five touchdowns compared to four turnovers during this four-game losing streak.

Wilson has been the starter for the Steelers since Week 7. Fields was the starter at the beginning of the season while Wilson was nursing a calf injury, but he has since served as the backup. Some fans made it clear that Fields should be plugged into the game in an attempt to give the Steelers life on the offensive end.

Mike Tomlin was clear in talking about the possibility of using Justin Fields as the starting QB in place of Russell Wilson in the first game of the NFL playoffs against the Baltimore Ravens.
