Why Justin Fields is the Steelers X factor heading into Week 12s TNF

It can be argued that there is too much blame being assigned For the Steelers' offensive woes in Week 11, one key takeaway from Pittsburgh's offense remains: the “' was flawless.

Fields' rushing package has been touted since the Steelers traded for the former Bears quarterback, and it finally came to fruition in Week 11 against Fields .

The Steelers brought Fields in for a QB power play and two QB-RB options that helped seal the game Victory for Pittsburgh. In Week 12, facing a relentless Cleveland pass rush led by 2023 Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett, the Steelers could be forced to rely on the Fields package as the focal point of the rushing attack.

Fields isn't just a running QB; He can also slingshot deep when the game script calls for it, and that versatility could prove to be Cleveland's downfall in the upcoming Thursday Night Football game.

Will Steelers OC Arthur Smith leverage Wilson and Fields' greatest strengths together? Between Wilson's “moon ball” and Fields' speed, not many defenses in the league can prepare for this offensive tandem.
