In choosing to start Russell Wilson over Justin Fields, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin told Jay Glazer that he's 'trying to win a world title,' and wants to see what he has in both QBs.
Veteran quarterback Russell Wilson will get his first start for the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night to face Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets. Starting Wilson was a decision by Steelers coach Mike Tomlin that gained a fair amount of attention, as the Steelers are off to a 4-2 start with Justin Fields under center. But for Tomlin, it was about more than his team's record.
The same goes in New York, where the Jets have undergone a significant overhaul over the last few weeks in hopes of providing the club and its 40-year-old quarterback with a spark. The Jets fired coach Robert Saleh on Oct. 8 and on Tuesday reunited Rodgers with longtime running mate Davante Adams when they acquired the three-time All-Pro wide receiver from Las Vegas. 'It has been strange, but really fun to see my friend,' Rodgers said of Adams, who is rooming with Rodgers for now.
