<p><strong>Mike Tomlin</strong> and the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a></strong> are preparing to face the Cincinnati Bengals after an unexpected loss with the Browns. Now, their first place in the AFC North is severely at risk.</p>



<p>In that last game at Cleveland, <strong>Justin Fields</strong> had a huge impact trying to make a great comeback in the fourth quarter. Russell Wilson carried most of the load, but, those special packages produced a spark.</p>



<p>Although it wasn’t enough for the victory, many fans and experts wonder if the young quarterback should be more involved with the Steelers if they want to reach the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a></strong>.</p>



<h2>Who will be the starting QB for the Steelers?</h2>



<p><strong>Russell Wilson</strong> will be the starting quarterback for the <strong>Pittsburgh Steelers</strong> against the Cincinnati Bengals. However, Mike Tomlin sent a clear message about the future role of Justin Fields.</p>


        

        


<p><em>“It’s a component of what we do. I’ve been pretty clear about that once Justin got healthy. He is a viable and capable dude. It’s something that our opponents have to be aware of. When we use it or how much we utilize it will be dependent on plans week to week.”</em></p>

<h2>Who are the two quarterbacks for the Steelers?</h2>



<p>Mike Tomlin confirmed that, as it’s been happening in the last few weeks, <strong>Justin Fields</strong> will be used more even if that disrupts Russell Wilson’s timing in clutch moments.</p>



<p><em>“There’s a strategic component that I won’t get into detailing, but, we feel comfortable with how we infuse it and when we infuse it. Certainly, there’s a potential of that (disrupting the rhythm), but we’re more excited about the challenges that it presents to the opposing unit. I think that’s reflective of our general attitude. We live in our hope as opposed to our fears.”</em></p>

<p>The <strong>Pittsburgh Steelers</strong> head into their <strong>NFL</strong> game against the <strong>Cincinnati Bengals</strong> with some good news regarding injured players. One positive note for head coach <strong>Mike Tomlin</strong> could be the return of a key player in quarterback <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/russell-wilson">Russell Wilson</a></strong>.</p>



<p>Wilson’s injury drama had been a storyline that held the attention of fans and the National Football League world earlier in the season, when the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Steelers</a> quarterback <strong>missed the first seven games of the tournament due to a calf injury. </strong>A few days later, Pittsburgh’s overall fitness remains stable, despite occasional soreness.</p>



<p>In this case, <strong>Wilson could get back a player he missed in the loss to the Cleveland Browns</strong> in NFL Week 12. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mike-tomlin">Mike Tomlin</a> addressed this situation in a pointed manner, although he also took the opportunity to give a general status of the roster at a key moment in the season.</p>



<h2>Wilson’s teammate who could return vs Bengals</h2>



<p>The player on the verge of returning to action for the Steelers <strong>is none other than linebacker Alex Highsmith</strong>. <strong><em>“He’s close to coming back,”</em></strong> Tomlin told reporters about the status of Russell Wilson’s teammate, who has played in six games this season and recorded 19 combined tackles.</p>

<h2>What injury had Highsmith sustained?</h2>



<p>Highsmith has been sidelined since injuring his left ankle in the final minutes of the Steelers’ win over the Washington Commanders. While the Pittsburgh franchise linebacker has not practiced this week, <strong>his status is expected to be day-to-day</strong>. If he doesn’t make it, Nick Herbig or Preston Smith could replace him.</p>

<h2>What other injured players could return to the Steelers soon?</h2>



<p>Tomlin has said that injured Cory Trice Jr. and Montravius Adams could get a chance to return this week, which would be excellent news for Pittsburgh. <strong>Trice remains on the injured reserve list</strong>, but has been practicing since being called up the week before the game against the Baltimore Ravens. Adams, meanwhile, is overcoming a knee injury and could return for the game against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cincinnati-bengals">Bengals</a>. </p>

NFL News: Mike Tomlin's Steelers may get key Russell Wilson teammate back vs Bengals - Bolavip US

<p>The <strong>Pittsburgh Steelers</strong> remain strong <em>Super Bowl</em> contenders in the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a></strong>, despite a tough loss last Thursday to the Cleveland Browns. <strong>Russell Wilson</strong> continues to solidify his leadership role, leaving <strong>Justin Fields</strong> with almost no playing time. As a result, <em>Steelers</em> legend <strong>Ben Roethlisberger</strong> suggests a shift in Fields’ role within <strong>Mike Tomlin</strong>‘s system.</p>


        


<p>Although the recent loss was a tough blow for the team, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh</a> still holds a very strong record of eight wins and three losses, leading the AFC North ahead of the Ravens, Bengals, and Browns.</p>



<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/justin-fields">Justin Fields</a> played a key role in several of Mike Tomlin’s games, delivering standout performances. However, Russell Wilson’s return to the field meant the former Bear had to return to the sidelines, prompting many, including Roethlisberger, to suggest a change for the talented quarterback.</p>



<p><strong><em>“I would like to see, line him up at receiver a couple times,”</em></strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ben-roethlisberger">Roethlisberger</a> said via <em>Steelers Depot.</em> <em>“Put him at different spots. Because what that does, even if you don’t do anything with it, again, anytime that you can force an opponent to spend five minutes on something that they might never see, it takes them away from preparing for what they will see.”</em></p>

<p><em>“You could put [Fields] out a receiver and hand the ball to Najee. Like, you were gonna run a normal play. But having him a receiver now makes you think like, ‘Okay, are they gonna throw it to him? Are they gonna run a reverse pass to him?’”</em> <em>Big Ben</em> also added. <em>“I like the Fields’ package. It can’t be every third-and-short or every fourth-and-short. It has to be used kind of sparingly and at the right time.”</em></p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/mike-tomlin-net-worth"></div>


<h2>Would Justin Fields play as wide receiver?</h2>



<p>Before the start of the season, as the debate over who would be the starting quarterback for Mike Tomlin’s team intensified, Justin Fields was asked if he would have accepted playing a different position, knowing that <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/russell-wilson">Russell Wilson</a> would ultimately be the team’s starting QB.</p>


        


<p><strong><em>“Nah, I’m not here to do that,”</em></strong> Fields said via ESPN. <em>“It was kind of a joke, to be honest with you.”</em></p>



<p><em>“I’m taking it day by day. I’m definitely competing. I think [Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson] knows that we’re competing against each other every day,”</em> Fields told to the media. <em>“Him being out there for me, that helps me getting better, especially each other. I definitely don’t have the mindset of me just sitting all year. I’m coming in every day giving it all I got and pushing him to be his best, and he’s pushing me to be my best each and every day.”</em></p>

<h2>Tomlin sends wake-up call to his team</h2>



<p>The loss last Thursday to the Cleveland Browns was a tough blow for a team with serious title aspirations.

<p><em>“Hard knocks are something you have to conquer. We have to handle it better than the other three teams (in the AFC North).

NFL News: Former Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger suggests change for Justin Fields to Mike Tomlin - Bolavip US

<p>The Week 13 game between <strong>Pittsburgh Steelers</strong> and <strong>Cincinnati Bengals</strong> is one of the great attractions of the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a></strong> weekend, in an interesting divisional duel between two AFC North contenders. <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mike-tomlin">Mike Tomlin</a></strong>‘s team wants to continue leading with an 8-3 record, but for that they will have to contain the figure of <strong>Joe Burrow</strong>.</p>



<p>Cincinnati may have a 4-7 record, but if there is one thing that has been evident throughout the season, it is the level of play from quarterback Burrow. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cincinnati-bengals">Bengals</a> star <strong>leads the National Football League in touchdown passes with 27</strong> and is one of the names that could be in contention to be named the league’s best player.</p>



<p>The race for the MVP award has several candidates, including quarterbacks Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen. With the majority of the NFL’s regular season games played, each matchup can be crucial in determining individual awards. <strong>Tomlin jumped into the discussion and said his candidate.</strong></p>



<h2>Tomlin’s unexpected message to Joe Burrow</h2>



<p><strong><em>“He’s MVP-caliber in terms of what he’s doing,”</em></strong> Tomlin unexpectedly declared at a press conference on Burrow’s chances to get the MVP award. <em><strong>“We have to have a good enough defense, but within that, we better perform at a high enough level.</strong> We better do a lot of things,”</em> the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Steelers</a> head coach said of Sunday’s showdown against Burrow and the Bengals.</p>

<h2>How is Tomlin’s record against Burrow’s Bengals?</h2>



<p>Tomlin’s respect for Burrow’s Bengals can be seen in his record against them. The Steelers head coach <strong>has a negative 2-3 record against Bengals teams led by <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/joe-burrow">Burrow</a></strong>. When considering his strategy for Sunday, Pittsburgh’s head coach cannot ignore the fact that he will be facing one of the most effective offensive quarterbacks in the tournament. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/joe-burrow-profile">Burrow is a player rising to stardom</a>.</p>


        

        

        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/mike-tomlin-net-worth"></div>


<h2>Joe Burrow’s performance in the 2024 NFL season</h2>



<p>Burrow has passed for 12 touchdowns in the Bengals’ last two games, with 5 against the Las Vegas Raiders and 4 against the Baltimore Ravens. It is certainly a remarkable record that is in line with the overall numbers. <strong>So far this season, the Cincinnati quarterback has completed 274 passes for 3028 yards</strong> and has been intercepted only four times. It is his best individual campaign as a professional with respect to touchdowns.</p>

NFL News: Mike Tomlin sends unexpected message to Joe Burrow ahead of Steelers vs Bengals clash - Bolavip US

<p>The <strong>Pittsburgh Steelers</strong> have a chance to get back on track and put last Thursday’s snowy loss to the Cleveland Browns behind them. Head coach <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mike-tomlin">Mike Tomlin</a></strong> sent a clear message to the team led by quarterback <strong>Russell Wilson</strong>, as well as a strong warning to the rest of the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a></strong>.</p>



<p>The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Steelers</a>‘ loss was questionable because it was a loss to a negative team. <strong>Each of Pittsburgh’s three losses this season came against franchises that lost more games than they won</strong>. That is why Tomlin’s voice is trying to dispel doubts about his team’s performance.</p>



<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/russell-wilson">Wilson</a> was also the target of criticism after the loss to the Browns</strong>, as his performance dropped off despite throwing for a touchdown in Cleveland. Even Tomlin inserted backup Justin Fields in the final minutes, leaving the starting quarterback’s role in doubt in recent hours.</p>



<h2>Tomlin’s wake-up call to Steelers, with warning to rest of league</h2>



<p><em>“Hard knocks are something you have to conquer. <strong>We have to handle it better than the other three teams (in the AFC North). We have to improve our short-yardage performance</strong>, but our goal is to be better than the other three teams in the division. All teams must deal with hard hits and will continue to do so</em>,<em>“</em> Tomlin warned in the press conference, taking Wilson and his team to task.</p>

<p><em><strong>“Week-to-week plans will continue to play into usage of the Justin Fields package.</strong> We are also using Ja’Marr Chase in different and more varied ways this season than in the past,”</em> Tomlin told reporters about using variations at the quarterback position and at wide receiver.</p>

<p><strong>Justin Fields</strong> and the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a></strong> suffered an unexpected loss against the Cleveland Browns. Although they made an impressive fourth quarter comeback, it wasn’t enough.</p>



<p>During that game on the road, Fields was called up by <strong>Mike Tomlin</strong> and Arthur Smith in crucial moments. Some of those plays didn’t work, especially facing short yardage, but, in the second half, Justin was the spark in a long drive to tighten the score.</p>



<p>As a consequence, the debate about who should be the starting quarterback of the Steelers has reignited. Considering all their problems in the red zone, the former star of the Bears might be the key to make a <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a></strong> run.</p>



<h2>Who will be the starting QB for the Steelers?</h2>



<p><strong>Russell Wilson</strong> will remain the starting quarterback for the <strong>Pittsburgh Steelers</strong>, but, in the last few weeks, Mike Tomlin has warned that the plays in special packages for Justin Fields will keep coming. </p>


        

        


<p>Fields talked about the situation mentioning he is ready to accept any role going forward. A clear message of no controversy with Wilson. <em>“I think it does affect (the timing and rhythm), but, at the end of the day, that’s what my job is. You can’t complain. Anytime I get an opportunity to go on the field and help my team, I’m going to do it. I felt good. Like I’ve said, I was glad that I was able to get a chance to help my team.”</em></p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/mike-tomlin-net-worth"></div>


<h2>Who are the two quarterbacks for the Steelers?</h2>



<p><strong>Justin Fields</strong> was asked if he thinks that, after the impact of his running game against the Browns, there’s a chance Mike Tomlin and offensive coordinator <strong>Arthur Smith</strong> will use him more.</p>



<p><em>“I usually have a set package each and every week. I think the play-calling is random to be honest with you. It’s kind of a feel thing with Arthur. How I’m going to be used is a question for him honestly.”</em></p>

<p>When it rains, it pours. If not, just look at <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mike-tomlin">Mike Tomlin</a></strong> and the <strong>Pittsburgh Steelers</strong>, who shortly after losing to division rivals Cleveland Browns, found out that the <strong>NFL is fining one of their best players</strong>.</p>



<p>Every Saturday at 4 PM (ET) the National Football League updates its gameday accountability report from the prior week’s action. In its latest summary, the league included a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Steelers</a> player <strong>for an action against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 11.</strong></p>



<p>The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> handed Steelers <strong>safety Minkah Fitzpatrick a $11,255 fine for unnecessary roughness</strong>, related to a late hit for which the player was penalized during the 18-16 win at Acrisure Stadium.</p>

<p>The play in question happened just before halftime. With only 38 seconds remaining in the second quarter, Fitzpatrick <strong>hit Ravens offensive lineman Patrick Mekari.</strong></p>

<h2>Fitzpatrick’s 2024 NFL season in Pittsburgh</h2>



<p>Fitzpatrick has recorded 61 total tackles and a forced fumble in 11 appearances in the 2024 NFL season. Tomlin <strong>started him in every game</strong> the Steelers played this year, regardless of the outside criticism towards the safety.</p>



<p>Last time out, the Steelers suffered a painful loss to the Browns on Thursday Night Football. Pittsburgh, however, is still atop the NFC North with an 8-3 record. Tomlin’s men <strong>will return to action on Sunday, December 1</strong>, against the Cincinnati Bengals.</p>

NFL punishes key player on Mike Tomlin's Pittsburgh Steelers with fine

<p><strong>Mike Tomlin</strong> and the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a></strong> lost against the Cleveland Browns complicating their situation in the AFC North. <strong>Russell Wilson</strong> and the offense didn’t work for three quarters and, although they made a fierce comeback in the final minutes, it wasn’t enough.</p>



<p>The big question is if the Steelers are really <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a></strong> contenders or they’ll fall apart in the division. Their schedule is one of the toughest in the NFL and even a wild card spot could be compromised.</p>



<p>Now, in the final weeks of the season, Tomlin, Wilson and the defense will have to prove if they belong in the same tier as the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a></strong>, the Buffalo Bills or the Baltimore Ravens.</p>



<h2>What is the Steelers’ record right now?</h2>



<p>The <strong>Pittsburgh Steelers</strong> have an 8-3 record and are in first place of the AFC North. Nevertheless, <strong>Mike Tomlin</strong> reminded his players that slow starts like the one in Cleveland could be very costly down the road.</p>


        

        


<p><em>“The Cleveland Browns brought it. It was a hard fought game. They made more plays than we did. Obviously, we’ve got to own our portions of it particularly early on. It’s painful, but it’s life in this business. It took us too long to warm up to the action. They brought it instantly early on. It produced some negativity in the first half. We’ll learn from it.”</em></p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/mike-tomlin-net-worth"></div>


<h2>What is the Steelers’ next rival?</h2>



<p>The Steelers will face the <strong>Cincinnati Bengals</strong> on the road in Week 12 and that could be crucial not only in the battle for the AFC North, but also in the race for a wild card berth.</p>



<p>The Bengals are four games behind the Steelers knowing they still have to face them twice this season. If you add that to looming matchups with the Ravens, Eagles, Browns and Chiefs, Tomlin understands there’s nothing granted.</p>

<p>This was the head coach’s message for his team before that huge visit to <strong>Joe Burrow</strong>. <em>“We’ve got a big one coming up. We’re in the midst of some thick AFC North action. So, no rest for the weary.”</em></p>

Mike Tomlin sends big warning to Russell Wilson and Pittsburgh Steelers after loss against Browns

Mike Tomlin sends warning to Russell Wilson and Steelers after loss against Browns - Bolavip US

<p><strong>Mike Tomlin</strong> made a huge decision before the start of the season with the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a></strong>. Russell Wilson and <strong>Justin Fields</strong> arrived to improve a quarterback room which didn’t give results with Kenny Pickett and Mitch Trubisky.</p>



<p>It was a key move trying to win the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a></strong> and, so far, the results are positive. The Steelers have an 8-3 record as first place in the AFC North. Although they suffered a surprising loss against the <strong>Cleveland Browns</strong>, there’s time to bounce back.</p>



<p>However, general manager <strong>Omar Khan</strong> and Tomlin also need to think about the future of the franchise. This year, Wilson and Fields are really cheap options, but, in the next months, they’ll need to choose one of them to pay a big contract.</p>



<h2>Who will be the starting QB for the Steelers?</h2>



<p>According to reports by Gerry Dulac and Ray Fittipaldo, <strong>Russell Wilson</strong> will be the starting quarterback of the future for the Pittsburgh Steelers. As a consequence, Mike Tomlin and the team’s front office are starting to envision the next contract for the veteran.</p>


        

        


<p>Although they could try to offer a modest deal to Justin Fields, the truth is that the young player wants to be a starter and his performances during the first half the season should give him a change to get a very solid deal elsewhere. He won’t accept another year as backup.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/mike-tomlin-net-worth"></div>


<h2>How much will Steelers pay Russell Wilson?</h2>



<p>The information on both reports mentions that the Steelers want to pay Russell Wilson approximately $100 million in a three-year contract. It’s a similar benchmark compared to <strong>Baker Mayfield</strong> and his recent deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.</p>



<p>Wilson will be 36-years old and that is the biggest different with Mayfield. Nevertheless, at least for now, the Steelers are convinced this is the path to finally have a successor to <strong>Ben Roethlisberger</strong>.</p>

NFL News: Mike Tomlin reportedly makes final decision about Russell Wilson's career with Steelers

<p><strong>Cleveland Browns</strong> pulled off an upset and snapped the Pittsburgh Steelers’ streak of five straight wins on a snowy Thursday Night Football in Week 12 of the 2024 <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a></strong> season. It was an unexpected loss for <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mike-tomlin">Mike Tomlin</a></strong>‘s team, who used <strong>Justin Fields</strong> in the final minutes.</p>



<p>The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Steelers</a> were unable to build on last Sunday’s magnificent victory over the Baltimore Ravens. The proximity of the games may have affected the physicality of the players, but the truth is that, just like last weekend, offensive production was low. <strong>With that in mind, Tomlin and his coaching staff had already signaled that they would start Fields in place of Russell Wilson </strong>if the game warranted it.</p>



<p>Wilson’s contribution to an offense that needs to polish its resources is down. The difficult snowstorm weather in Cleveland may be a reason for the physical activation, but the Steelers have only scored one touchdown between the last quarter of Week 10 and the final quarter of the loss to the Browns. In that context, <strong>Tomlin made it clear why, under those weather conditions, he decided to use a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/justin-fields">Fields</a></strong> who had been waiting cold on the bench.</p>



<h2>Tomlin made it clear why he used Fields against Browns</h2>



<p><strong><em>“I don’t think the weather was a factor in putting Fields in the game. We intended to use him and we did, we didn’t think about the snow in making that decision,” </em></strong>Tomlin said in his press conference following the 24-19 loss to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cleveland-browns">Browns</a>.</p>

<h2>Justin Fields spoke about his participation in the match</h2>



<p>Fields was involved in six snaps against the Browns, throwing once and rushing for 26 yards, sparking a potential comeback. As Tomlin said, his usage corresponded to a decision to strengthen the offense. <em><strong>“I should have scored on the long run, but I was feeling stiff after being off the field for so long.</strong> Inconsistent playing time affects my rhythm, but at the end of the day, that’s my job,”</em> said backup quarterback Fields.</p>

<h2>George Pickens sends strong message to Browns</h2>



<p>Steelers wide receiver George Pickens didn’t hide his frustration after the loss to the Browns and unlike Tomlin, he did blame the weather. <strong><em>“I really don’t think the Cleveland Browns are a good team at all. I think the conditions saved them today,”</em></strong> the Pittsburgh offensive player harshly criticized.</p>
