It\u2019s tough to bench a quarterback when they\u2019re undefeated. Even if they start the season as the backup on paper.<\/p>\n<p>4-0 would be 4-0, however, and Fields appears highly motivated to continue this run based on his\u00a0most recent Instagram post ahead of Week 4.<\/p>\n<div id=\"7182c39b61568308aa79de06df3cdaa2\" class=\"embed_container\">\n<div class=\"lazy-embed lazy-embed--ssr embed-instagram-com lazy-embed--loaded\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DARnDIZuFEv\/\"><iframe id=\"instagram-embed-0\" class=\"instagram-media instagram-media-rendered\" src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DARnDIZuFEv\/embed\/captioned\/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=656&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fheavy.com&amp;rp=%2Fsports%2Fnfl%2Fpittsburgh-steelers%2Fjustin-fields-message-week-4-news%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A593523.7999999998%7D\" height=\"708\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-instgrm-payload-id=\"instagram-media-payload-0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cNot finished but enjoying the moment\u2026 3-0,\u201d Fields wrote in the caption.<\/p>\n<p>The message? Fields and the Steelers are not going anywhere if he has anything to say about it.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Steelers HC Mike Tomlin Acknowledges Justin Fields\u2019 Play Is \u2018Exciting\u2019 for Organization<\/h2>\n<p>While\u00a0speaking with reporters on September 24, Steelers head coach\u00a0Mike Tomlin\u00a0was asked if Fields\u2019 play has allowed them to take their time with Wilson\u2019s calf injury.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo question Justin has played well, and that\u2019s exciting for him and for us,\u201d Tomlin responded. \u201cBut I\u2019m not surprised by that, and I hadn\u2019t looked at it in terms of the decision-making because it\u2019s not time yet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Steelers HC then discussed the qualities that he\u2019s seen in Fields as a quarterback, including the one he likes the most.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs I\u2019ve mentioned in here repeatedly, I like his steady demeanor,\u201d Tomlin said. \u201cI like that in a leader. He doesn\u2019t ride the emotional roller coaster when things are going good [or] when things are going bad. Guys can rally around that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[Fields is] steady,\u201d the veteran coach continued. \u201cHe\u2019s a competitor, man, he likes to compete. He doesn\u2019t turn down things. [And] he\u2019s aggressive in play \u2014 scrambling and so forth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s just been fun to get to know him, and not only know him as a guy but as a competitor,\u201d Tomlin concluded at the time.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Steelers Teammates Describe Justin Fields as a Leader<\/h2>\n<p>Yardbarker Steelers reporter Aaron Becker went around the Pittsburgh locker room on September 25, polling different players on Fields and his leadership ability.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel like he\u2019s one of those laid-back players, even just his personality just walking around off the field,\u201d tight end\u00a0Darnell Washington said. \u201cHe\u2019s just one of those calm dudes, personality wise. So that just carried over to the field.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wide receiver\u00a0George Pickens\u00a0echoed that sentiment\u00a0while speaking with Becker, among others.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s playing good. Me personally, that\u2019s what I take from it,\u201d Pickens weighed in. \u201cHe don\u2019t really say as much, so I wouldn\u2019t say vocal leadership. Probably him every day going out [there] in practice, is probably what Darnell is talking about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Finally, rookie wide receiver\u00a0Roman Wilson commented: \u201cHe\u2019s a quiet guy but he\u2019s vocal when he needs to be. He\u2019s a great leader, great player. Just someone that people love to play for. I love having that guy as my quarterback \u2014 someone who\u2019s tough, someone who\u2019s physical, someone who\u2019s just got that \u2018it\u2019 factor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Heading into Week 4 at a record of 3-0, it feels like the locker room is fully rallying behind Fields. If he and the Steelers can continue this win streak, who knows how far this team can go in 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GettyPittsburgh Steelers quarterback Justin Fields posted a message on Instagram ahead of NFL Week 4.
