After a narrow win in their first game, the Steelers are preparing Justin Fields to start as Russell Wilson remains sidelined.

Pittsburgh Steelers
The Pittsburgh Steelers started the season 1-0 with an 18-10 win over the Falcons in an unimpressive game that saw only one touchdown scored. The lone touchdown came from Atlanta, while the Steelers relied on kicker Chris Boswell for all their points. Quarterback Justin Fields filled in for the injured Russell Wilson, throwing for 156 yards with no interceptions or touchdowns. Running back Najee Harris led the team in rushing. Wilson's return is uncertain, with progress being made but likely not in time for the next game. Despite Wilson's injury, the Steelers defense dominated the Falcons, forcing turnovers and limiting their offensive yardage. The team is preparing for Fields to start again in the next game. The Steelers covered the spread in the last game and are ranked 14th in the power rankings.
