DENVER \u2014\u00a0<\/strong>The Pittsburgh Steelers got another promising start from quarterback Justin Fields and the defense was nearly perfect in a 13-3 victory over the Denver Broncos on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Fields, making his second start with the Steelers in place of injured Russell Wilson, built on a solid first outing last week against the Falcons, competing 13 of 20 for 117 yards and one touchdown for a 97.3 passer rating.<\/p>\n

For the second week in a row, Fields did not turn the football over, and he lead the offensive into the end zone this week after settling for six field goals in Week 1 against the Falcons.<\/p>\n

The lone end zone trip occurred on the Steelers\u2019 second offensive drive of the game, when Fields directed a 12-play, 73-yard effort that ended with a nifty pass to Darnell Washington on the left side of the end zone.<\/p>\n

The connection was Fields\u2019 first touchdown pass with the Steelers and it was the first touchdown reception of Washington\u2019s career.<\/p>\n
