Russell Wilson passes first testWhen Tomlin pivoted, sitting Fields in favor for a healthy Wilson, the decision was sure to have a microscope on it.
Wilson found his rhythm as the game went on, showing great chemistry with George Pickens.
Wilson and the Steelers capitalized on the miscue, when the QB hit Pickens for a touchdown to cap a four-play, 54-yard drive.
That set the stage for Wilson to sneak the ball in, giving the Steelers an eight-point lead.
