    In 5 career games against the Steelers, Jackson has zero TD runs. They said on the NFL Network that against the other 31 teams Jackson is MVP but against the Steelers he is MIA.

    Also Lamar had issue in this game but not in the red zone for today or for the entire season.They had the best red zone offense on over 75% I think

    Yeah I you count the two td thrown by Wilson in the redzone that were taken away, but not by anything He did.
    Only a dumb DC wouldn't know what He was doing?? Just like anyone that didn't think Lamar Jackson was going to try running on that two points conversion.
    I know You people gush over running Qbs ...., but I know a few TE, and Wrs on this team that wouldn't be happy one bit....because You could almost automatically take them out of the equation in the red zone.

    Tomlin knows how to play Mr. Jackson and it shows. The Rats had to respcet Fields' ability to pass the ball on the play that he slid short of the first down because they make a living off of it with Jackson. Some of the things said on this board is mind boggling.

    Nobody on the field, or watching the game thought they were bringing in Fields to throw the ball, and if they did....I don't know what to say, and If You are being honest You ....Yourself knew He wasn't throwing it. It was either Him rushing, or Him handing it off.

    I'd say He had issues. He now has 5 tds, and 11 turnover vs the Steelers.
    Like I said before. I'll believe in them when I see them do it against us.

    I don't talk to always use Fields in the red zone but in the game they have some struggle,the steelers need to put Fields more often in the situation football,like red zone or 3rd down and short

    The goal is to score more TD in the red zone,not the receiver or TE feeling....

    Only a blithering idiot thought that Fields would throw the ball in that situation. Under no circumstance was there an option for him to pass the ball.

    Same if it was Wilson the QB on the second down.....Better to have 2 options to run the ball vs just 1

    In my decades of watching pro football, I've seen the unexpected beat many teams. Sometimes they guess right and sometimes they guess wrong. That's what makes the game interesting.

    TE, and Wrs like to catch tds too.
    If a guy has thrown 1 td to a wr in six games....how many wrs think they are actually getting the ball when He's out there. We all seen how they started to act when He was playing. Disinterested. Nobody wants to keep running routes they know are more than likely not coming to them.

    Why??? We've seen Russell Wilson run for 1st downs this year. What You people are asking is for the D to automatically know.....probably won't be a throw. If Russell is in...it could very well be a throw, a handful to the RB, or He runs. I'll take 3 options over two any day.

    Don't try to think for me, I did not know what the call was going to be. Your bias does not make you right, you just have an opinion like the rest of us.

    This is about the team,not about the stats.Look at Barkley with the eagles....How many time he was tackle at the 1-2 yards line this year only to have Jalen Hurts finish the drive with a tush push TD?...11 times but Barkley don't cry about that,this is about the team not fantasy football!

    Fields is a much better runner and no way they would throw on the second down with few time left in the game...The only time Wilson had a first down with his leg,it was under 5 yards or so

    If you don't want to be honest with yourself that's on You, and You are biased the other way. Yet I guess that only counts one way.

    Then what you say makes no sense. Why bring Fields in if Russ could do the same thing? Listen to what you typed.

    LoL. Yes , or No???
    Has Wilson run for 1st downs this year??
    Yes , or no were the Wrs starting to not play to their strengths, and becoming disinterested when Fields was playing???
    Yes , or no....has the offense not looked more explosive since Wilson played???

    I never said to put Fields as starter but only on some situation football....The longest run of Wilson this year,was 6 yards or 3 yards less that the run that Fields had on the second down at the end of the game
