Russell Wilson praised Justin Fields for putting the Steelers in an advantageous situation after the Steelers beat the Jets on Sunday Night Football.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a>\u00a0will not be denied in the AFC North.\u00a0Pittsburgh got another key win on Sunday Night Football<\/a>\u00a0against the New York Jets. This win puts Pittsburgh at 5-2 atop the division, with a possible Baltimore win creating a tie. It also has the Steelers on a two-game winning streak.\u00a0One gutsy move the Steelers made ahead of this game was starting\u00a0Russell Wilson<\/a>\u00a0over\u00a0Justin Fields<\/a>.<\/div>\n
Many Steelers fans and NFL pundits were critical of this move<\/a>\u00a0because Fields led the Steelers to a 4-2 record. It may have only been one game, but Wilson showed that he brings a little more to the table than Fields does.<\/div>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re capable of a lot, we left a lot on the table,\u201d Wilson said after the game, per Jori Epstein of YahooSports. Wilson is clearly suggesting the Steelers\u00a0could have scored more than 37 points<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Wilson also praised Justin Fields for putting the Steelers in an advantageous\u00a0 position.<\/p>\n

\u201cI also want to give credit to Justin, man. How he got us in this position. What a great player he is. Just this whole team.\u201d<\/p>\n

Russell Wilson spoke at length after the game about what it meant to him that Mike Tomlin started him over Justin Fields, who has been playing well.<\/p>\n

Wilson\u00a0parlayed that question into a thoughtful statement<\/a>\u00a0about the dynamic between himself and Fields.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are in a tremendous situation where we are. I think there’s a lot of outside noise that makes it seem like it’s a negative thing and this rivalry internal and it’s not, man, we just want to win,\u201d Wilson said, per ESPN’s Brooke Pryor.<\/p>\n

\u201cI mean we have a great relationship,\u201d Wilson continued. \u201cHe’s a tremendous quarterback, he’s a franchise quarterback, he’s a leader. He’s got all the intangibles and whatever I can give to him and show him and just be around him, that’s part of my job.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wilson also praised Mike Tomlin during his speech.<\/p>\n

\u201cCoach Tomlin believes in all of us and he does a tremendous job. This guy, he’s a tremendous football coach and we trust him and we know who he is and he’s very transparent in everything else with us too. So we just love winning. We just love being a part of the process.\u201d<\/p>\n
