What did Justin Fields have to say about the game-altering misfire?<\/p>\n

Justin Fields\u00a0of the\u00a0Pittsburgh Steelers\u00a0commented on his former team\u00a0this week, and had to play in Sunday\u2019s game against the Colts\u00a0behind a banged-up offensive line. And then Fields had a crucial mistake that eventually cost the Steelers a chance to pull off a last-minute victory.<\/p>\n
Trailing 27-24 against the Colts, Fields scooped up a first-down misfired snap and the Steelers suffered a 12-yard loss with a little over a minute left in the game. Fields followed up with an incomplete pass, an 11-yard completion to Najee Harris, and a fourth-down incompletion that sealed the outcome.<\/p>\n
Fields accepted responsibility\u00a0for the snap snafu, according to a post on X by Steelers reporter Chris Adamski.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was my fault,\u201d Fields said.<\/p>\n

The Steelers (3-1) fought back from a 17-0 deficit but fell just short of extending their six-game regular-season winning streak. It may have been different without the botched snap.<\/p>\n
Fields explained the pre-snap situation that led to the mistake.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were on the first leg kick, and (center) Zach (Frazier) was IDing stuff. I felt the DBs rotating a change in the back-end picture. So, when he was IDing stuff, telling the o-line where to go, I was trying to get that final picture before the snap came. At the end of the day, it\u2019s from the first leg kick. So after I kick my leg, I gotta be ready for the ball. It\u2019s doesn\u2019t matter when it\u2019s gonna come or not. Yeah, it\u2019s on me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fields ran for two second-half scores and threw for another to cut the deficit to 27-24 with 3:40 left in the game. He finished the game 22 of 34 for 312 yards. Also, Fields ran 10 times for 55 yards. However, he took four sacks and lost a fumble.<\/p>\n
The Colts earned the led behind the play of 2023 comeback player of the year Joe Flacco. He finished 19 of 30 for 166 yards against a team he knew played against often during 11 seasons with Baltimore.<\/p>\n
What did Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin say?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Steelers\u2019 head coach Mike Tomlin may have liked for his quarterback to\u00a0learn something from Flacco, according to athlonsports.com.<\/p>\n
\u201cI appreciate (Fields\u2019) fight,\u201d Tomlin said. \u201cBut he, and we, were a little bit sloppy at times, too sloppy to comfortably secure victory.\u201d<\/p>\n
Of course, hiding behind the scenes is Russell Wilson. Was this the type of performance that might open the window for Wilson to take over at quarterback when he\u2019s fully healthy?<\/p>\n
Tomlin received criticism as well, for not calling\u00a0his final timeout\u00a0prior to the final fourth-down incomplete pass, according to the Steelers\u2019 YouTube page via steelernation.com.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know I just wanted to hold it in my hip pocket,\u201d Tomlim said. \u201cYou know sometimes working at a pace is an advantage for an offense. It doesn\u2019t give the defense the opportunity to get specialized people in the game to ponder calls and get imperfect calls. I was comfortable working that pace and I just wanted to keep it in my hip pocket in case we converted and got down the field.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
