It wasn’t necessarily pretty, and his final stats were mediocre. But what Justin Fields did in Sunday’s 13-6 win over the Broncos in Denver was provide the Steelers with what they needed from their starting quarterback in that particular game: 60 minutes of turnover-free football.

Fields completed 13 of 20 (65 percent) for 117 yards, with 1 touchdown, no interceptions and a 97.3 rating. Fields also rushed eight times for 27 yards (3.4 average). Penalties, both on the Broncos for pass interference and on the Steelers for voiding completed passes and taking a second touchdown pass off the board, robbed Fields of the kind of statistics that could have made him a hero among the fantasy football crowd, but he kept his composure and did what he had to do to earn his second win in two starts in a Steelers uniform.

Fields are the Steelers Recap Player of the week.
