Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it's how Justin Fields changed his game to help earn a victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.
Fields had made 40 career starts before taking over for injured Pittsburgh starter Russell Wilson in a move that wan announced and hour and a half before kickoff at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Sunday. Only 13 times out of 40 had he done what he did on Sunday: not turn the ball over.
Fields and Zach Frazier fumbled the opening snap -- the first of the rookie center's career -- but after that, Fields didn't put the ball in harm's way again, letting Chris Boswell and the defense win the game for the Steelers.
