Justin Fields is shining bright after spending three tough years with the often-chaotic Chicago Bears.
Now, he’s leading the undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers into their home opener this weekend, filling in for the injured Russell Wilson and guiding the team to a perfect 2-0 record.
While Fields’ stats may not be eye-popping, his ability to protect the football has won over coaches and Steelers faithful alike.
Offensive coordinator Arthur Smith has been particularly impressed with Fields’ composure under pressure and his decision-making skills in crucial moments.
Reflecting on the whirlwind of events that brought him to Pittsburgh, Fields recently expressed gratitude for how things have unfolded, as reported by Matthew Luciow.
“I think it’s definitely a blessing being here,” he said, “It was kind of bittersweet when I first got here, but I was happy to come to an organization like this, and I couldn’t be happier now.”
“So I’m just glad to get the opportunity to go out there Sunday onto the field and hope to come out with a few more wins.”

Fans have to be loving the gratitude Justin Fields is showing as he aims to keep the Steelers’ perfect record intact and prove that his transformative journey from Chicago to Pittsburgh was more than just a change of scenery.
However, as Fields prepares to face the Los Angeles Chargers, he faces the challenge of cementing his position as the starting quarterback.
The Steelers’ success hinges on his ability to find the end zone while minimizing errors.
A strong performance in the coming games could reshape Pittsburgh’s quarterback landscape for seasons to come.
The Steelers organization seems thrilled to have Fields on board, and if he continues to impress, they may look to secure his services long-term in the upcoming offseason.
