Russell Wilson's participation in the Wildcard game is being hotly debated. As the Pittsburgh Steelers brace for their Wild Card playoff game against the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday, former NFL star Mark Schlereth urged head coach Mike Tomlin to make a drastic change.
Schlereth has publicly called for Russell Wilson to be benched in favor of Justin Fields.
"I think if you're going to put it out there and you're going to beat the Baltimore Ravens, I think the best option is Justin Fields," Schlereth said.
The criticism from the three-time Super Bowl champion stems from Wilson’s recent performances, especially his tendency to take sacks. Over the last three games, Wilson has been sacked 12 times, which undermined the offense, according to Schlereth.
