Justin Fields and the Pittsburgh Steelers squeaked past the sputtering Denver Broncos 13-6 on Sunday with Russell Wilson reprising his bitter role as sideline spectator in the Mile High City.

Wilson’s much-anticipated return to Denver to face the team that replaced him first with journeyman Jarrett Stidham, then with rookie Bo Nix, fizzled into a footnote when he was relegated to emergency QB status as a strained calf sidelined him for the second straight week.

That didn't stop Steelers coach Mike Tomlin from giving Wilson a game ball in the victorious visitors locker room.

“It was nice to get him a win,” Fields said of Wilson in his return to Denver.

Fields threw a touchdown pass and finished 13 for 20 for 117 yards with no interceptions to help Pittsburgh (2-0) beat the Broncos (0-2) for the third consecutive time.
