Damian Lillard has been enjoying watching football lately. The Bucks’ guard is a big-time fan of the Raiders but recently, he’s been closely watching other teams as well. Such was his case with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers are off to a great start after their 18-10 win over the Falcons. This win was powered by their new member, Justin Fields who spent his last three years in Chicago. While his time with the Bears was quite defining, it seems that Pittsburgh might be his desirable destination.
Lillard recently shared his thoughts on Fields’ performance following the Steelers’ win on Twitter. “I think I’m seeing who held Justin Fields back fr… cuz wtf are we doing”, wrote Lillard. Of course, after recording 156 passing yards in his Steelers debut, Fields seemed to have sent flashbacks to Luke Getsy. Fields has a lot of potential and with the Steelers, he ought to unleash every bit of it. As he plays the Broncos next, it will be interesting to see him put up a similar performance yet again.
