PITTSBURGH (AP) — Justin Fields keeps avoiding mistakes.
Mike Tomlin keeps avoiding the subject.
If Tomlin's backup quarterback keeps playing like this, the Pittsburgh Steelers coach might not be able to for much longer, not with Fields quietly building a case he should remain the starter even after Russell Wilson's balky right calf heals.
Fields produced his most efficient performance yet in a 20-10 win over the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, throwing for a touchdown and running for another as the Steelers improved to 3-0 for the first time since 2020.
