The Pittsburgh Steelers have officially named their starting quarterback for Week 1 of the 2024 season, and the news was not surprising.
On Wednesday, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin announced that Russell Wilson had won the quarterback competition, beating Justin Fields.
“I met with both quarterbacks here just a few minutes ago, after practice, and I informed them that Russ is QB1 going into Week 1,” Tomlin said. “It was a difficult decision, but not difficult in a negative way, to be quite honest with you. It was difficult in a positive way. The decision was difficult because of what they’re capable of doing. The decision was difficult because of how they’ve conducted themselves, as opposed to the things that they fall short in, in terms of capabilities or negative conduct.”
