The Steelers will use the dynamic dual threat

The Pittsburgh Steelers will take on the Baltimore Ravens in a matter of hours as part of the Saturday slate of Wild Card games to kickoff the NFL playoffs. Pittsburgh has struggled over the last four games, all of which were losses. Specifically, the offense has taken a massive step back, not scoring more than 17 points in that span.

There as speculation on whether or not the Steelers would go back to using Justin Fields in some sort of role. And while it was very unlikely that Fields would start against Baltimore, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network says to expect the Steelers to use Fields in “prepared packages.”

Fields had 10 touchdowns int he team’s first six games as the starter (five passing, five rushing) and led Pittsburgh to a 4-2 record in that span. Should he get some extensive usage, his legs and arm could help give the Steelers their first playoff win in eight seasons.
