00:00Let's stay in Pennsylvania, Cap, in regards to Pittsburgh, they're 2-0, they grind out

00:08another win, they have L.A. today, assuming that Justin Fields gets the victory, and let's

00:13just say he plays well, but doesn't put up huge numbers, what's the situation in regards

00:19to Russell Wilson?

00:20Does Tomlin go to Wilson, or does he in fact stay with Fields because they'd be undefeated?

00:26No, when a quarterback doesn't lose a game, you don't change the quarterback, so it'll

00:31be Justin Fields.

00:32It's more of a week-to-week thing, Joe, because look, you nailed it, they have to have a pass

00:37again.

00:38Unfortunately, Roman Wilson, their rookie receiver out of Michigan, as I reported six

00:43weeks ago, he has a high ankle sprain.

00:45He was close, I'm a little surprised he didn't play today.

00:48So folks, this is a ground-and-pound game.

00:50Both head coaches want to run the football, and let's not forget, Justin Herbert's playing

00:55with a right high ankle sprain.

00:56That does concern me.

00:58Had he not had that injury, which, by the way, he revealed late in the week to reporters,

01:02I would have loved the Chargers today, but this game, this is about running the football,

01:07not turning it over.

01:08This is going to be smash-mouth, 1980s football today in Pittsburgh.
