Justin Fields had the most stunning fumble of the 2024 season against the Colts

Justin Fields isn’t making the best decisions on Sunday.

The Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback struggled for most of the first three quarters against the Indianapolis Colts, including one of the dumbest plays we’ve ever seen this season. It was the type of decision that led the Chicago Bears to give up on the former first-round pick.

With the Steelers trailing 17-3 in the third quarter and facing third-and-10 at the Indianapolis 33-yard line with 7:48 left, Fields dropped back and did the unthinkable. With two rushers in his face, he tried to make a wild, scrambling play to the outside. Unfortunately he couldn’t get to the edge and tried to cut back towards the middle. Then everything collapsed.

As he retreated, Fields slipped, tried to get up and fumbled, with Colts cornerback Chris Lammons recovering the ball at the Steelers’ 42-yard line. The video is below.

Technically the sack was a 20-yard loss, with the fumble recovered five yards further back. It was a devastating play that left the Steelers out of field goal range and losing the football in their own half.

Luckily for Fields, the Colts missed their field goal attempt on the ensuing drive and he was able to march Pittsburgh back down the field for a touchdown to bring the game closer.
