PITTSBURGH -- Welcome to Acrisure Stadium, Justin Fields. The Steelers quarterback, starting his third consecutive game in place of injured Russell Wilson, scored the team's first rushing touchdown of the season in the second quarter, keeping the ball after faking a handoff to Jaylen Warren on the 5-yard line. Fields then sneaked around Warren and trotted into the end zone nearly untouched to even the score.

To get to the red zone, Fields connected with wide receiver Scotty Miller on third down, and Miller escaped a would-be tackle for a 20-yard gain up the sideline. Fields' score was his second this season after he notched his first passing touchdown as a Steeler a week ago in Denver on a toss to second-year tight end Darnell Washington.
