🏈 Cris Collinsworth wants to see Justin Fields in primetime.

“I think what we saw out of Justin Fields was probably enough, even if Russell is right and ready to go this week, to where you go, I wanna see one more of those. I wanna see him again, now in a big game at home on national television, the Dallas Cowboys,” Collinsworth said on the Rich Eisen Show. “Was that just a, in case of emergency, break glass and let him throw the ball around, and it’s gonna be okay? Or was that Justin Fields taking a step in a positive direction to where now the trust level goes up in a 7-3 game, we’re gonna let him drop back and throw the ball a little bit.”

🏈 Pittsburgh will pay $1 million to support the 2026 NFL Draft, which the city will host.City Council on Tuesday unanimously voted to spend the money despite initial criticism from some members that Mayor Ed Gainey committed taxpayer dollars without first seeking their approval.
