Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Justin Fields has made a surprising admission in the wake of his starting role coming under threat.

With veteran QB Russell Wilson fully fit again, he’s now in the running for some snaps as it appears Fields hasn’t quite convinced head coach Mike Tomlin despite his noteworthy performances this season.

Fields spoke to reporters this Thursday and conceded that he hadn’t played well enough to strengthen his position as the team’s undisputed starter.

“I don’t think I played good enough if I’m being real with you,” he claimed. “If I’m being real with myself, if I did play well enough, I don’t think there would be any sort of (question) who should be playing who should not.”

Check it out in the video below:

Fields has gone 4-2 as the Steelers quarterback this season, making 106 completions off 160 attempts for a percentage of 66.3, as well as 1,109 passing yards. He is responsible for 10 total touchdowns, throwing five scoring passes and scrambling for an additional five TDs while rushing for 231 yards.

Although he boasts a 93.9 passer rating, some would describe his passing ability as flawed.

Justin Fields And Russell Wilson Were Competing For The Startin Job From The Start

Fields and Wilson were initially set to compete for the starting job in Pittsburgh, but the veteran sustained a calf injury in preseason that kept him out of the running. The Steelers are likely keen on finding out whether he can provide a different type of threat in their offense or improve the quality of their passing.

While Fields was the automatic starter in the wake of his injury, his return has opened competition up again.

For what it’s worth, former Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger doesn’t believe Fields has played himself out of the starting role.

Travis Kelce Used One Word To Describe His Whirlwind Relationship With Taylor Swift

Travis Kelce is proud to have girlfriend Taylor Swift by his side, and he doesn’t mind that the whole world is watching.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have been dating since at least September 2023 when she shocked everybody by showing up to Arrowhead Stadium. The move came months after Kelce first publicly expressed interest in Swift, after attending one of her concerts and failing to send a friendship bracelet to her with his number on it.

Travis Kelce knows just how obsessed the world is with his relationship.

“I’m very aware,” Kelce said when asked whether he understands the “impact” his romance with Taylor Swift was having on the NFL.

“Obviously, this is mostly because Taylor’s in my life now and we got her [to be] part of Chiefs Kingdom,” he explained in a resurfaced interview with sports reporter Laura Okmin ahead of the Super Bowl.

“And sure enough, that brought an entire entourage of human beings who just love to support her and love to support everything that she’s about.”

He used an incredible word to describe their relationship.

“With that being said, I do, you know, have a guarded approach to it,” he explained before Super Bowl 58. “But at the same time, I know what me and Taylor have is special, so I get [the interest].”

Taylor Swift was spotted at 13 of Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs football games this past season, first popping up in a box at Arrowhead Stadium in Missouri on Sept. 24, 2023. The team won 10 of the 13 games at which she’s been in attendance.

That also included the team winning playoff games over the Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills, Baltimore Ravens, and then the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl.

Kelce finished the Super Bowl with nine receptions for 93 yards, including a crucial catch in overtime.

The 34-year-old slowed down slightly in 2023, finishing with 93 catches for 984 yards and five touchdowns. It should be noted he did miss two games, Week 1 due to injury and Week 17 as he chose to sit out with the Chiefs not playing for anything.
