The Pittsburgh Steelers have their most important game of the season coming up on Saturday, Jan. 11 against the Baltimore Ravens.
This certainly is an understatement.
Pittsburgh will take on one of its biggest rivals on the road in the Wild Card Round of the National Football League playoffs. The Steelers have struggled lately, but they certainly have a chance to take down the Ravens. It sounds like the team could get creative in the playoff matchup as well.
Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said he is “open” to utilizing quarterback Justin Fields in some capacity in the upcoming clash against the Ravens.
“I’m certainly open to utilizing Justin,” Tomlin said as transcribed by Pro Football Talk’s Josh Alper. “He has an awesome skill set. We’ve done some of that in the past. We’ve done less of it in recent weeks. He experienced an injury a couple of weeks back that slowed some of that. But, certainly, in an effort to win this game I am open to any combination or combinations of the division of labor in an effort to do so, and so I’m certainly open to that as we develop plans this week.”

The Steelers will enter the postseason clash riding a four-game losing streak. Pittsburgh will need to do everything in its power to change that and utilizing Fields could help.
It’s win or go home and the Steelers need to consider all options.
