Steelers' Justin Fields Has An Incredible Opportunity Against The Colts To Do Something Only Terry Bradshaw And Ben Roethlisberger Have Done

   

The Pittsburgh Steelers have been fortunate to boast two legendary quarterbacks who have combined for six Super Bowl rings. Terry Bradshaw led the team to dominance in the 1970s, guiding Pittsburgh to four Super Bowl victories. Decades later, Ben Roethlisberger added two more rings during an incredible 18-season career with the Steelers.

Steelers' Justin Fields Has An Incredible Opportunity Against The Colts To Do Something Only Terry Bradshaw And Ben Roethlisberger Have Done

Bradshaw and Roethlisberger are widely regarded as the two greatest quarterbacks in Steelers history. While debates continue over who was better, with many fans leaning toward Roethlisberger as the best Steelers quarterback ever, both are undisputed legends of the franchise.

Now, Justin Fields has a chance on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts to achieve something only Bradshaw and Roethlisberger have done. According to renowned stats expert Daniel Valente, if Fields secures a win and improves to 4-0 this season, he will join Bradshaw and Roethlisberger as the only Steelers quarterbacks to start a season 4-0.

If Fields does lead the Steelers to a 4-0 start, no one is expecting him to suddenly reach the heights of Bradshaw or Roethlisberger—that's an unfair comparison given their legendary careers. However, it’s certainly intriguing. With so many quarterbacks in Steelers history, only two have ever started a season 4-0, so if Fields pulls it off, it would be an incredible achievement.

Not everyone is buying into the Fields hype, though. Some critics argue that the Steelers are winning despite him, not because of him. Steelers fans would likely disagree, as they've seen Fields protect the football, make smart decisions, and deliver perfect throws when needed. Each time he has faced adversity, Fields has responded impressively.

Fields has found a new sense of confidence and is beginning to shift the narrative surrounding his career. He's led the Steelers to a strong start, and he’ll look to keep the momentum going in Week 4 with a win over the Colts, aiming to join two of the franchise’s legendary quarterbacks in history.

Steelers' Justin Fields Finally Has Support In His Career

When Fields was drafted by the Chicago Bears, there was a lot of excitement about his potential. However, his first three seasons didn’t live up to expectations, as he posted a 10-28 record. Now, for the first time in his career, Fields has the support he needs. With great coaching and a dominant defense, he’s finally in a position to win games.

During his time in Chicago, Fields faced a revolving door of coaches, a shaky offensive line, and overall poor team performance. Now, with a competent organization that knows how to utilize his talents, he has been performing admirably. While many Steelers fans would love to see Fields light up the stat sheet and scoreboard more, what matters most is that he’s winning games and doing what needs to be done.

Whether the Steelers are winning games because of Fields remains to be seen, but he has certainly taken control of the offense. Fields has emerged as a strong leader, doing everything necessary to secure victories. 

Pundits are beginning to believe that he could be the future of the franchise in the Steel City. There’s also a growing sentiment that the Bears, rather than Fields, were the source of the struggles he faced earlier in his career.
