On paper, it appears to be a job well done that the Pittsburgh Steelers scored a season-high 32 points to earn their most comfortable win of the season. In their place, beat the hapless Las Vegas Raiders by 19 points, break a two-game losing streak and prepare for back-to-back home games under lights against the New York Jets and New York Giants. For Justin Fields, “good enough” isn’t good enough. Speaking to reporters after the game, he said Pittsburgh should have given Las Vegas the wrong number.

“I think we could have gotten more out of it,” Fields told reporters on the Steelers’ team site after the game. “A few mishaps, but 32 points is pretty solid. But we just keep getting better, keep working and hopefully we can do better next week.”

It was certainly a season high for the team and their biggest road win since Christmas 2017, seven years ago, when the Steelers beat the Houston Texans 34-6. Helped by turnovers and a blocked punt, Pittsburgh's offense got going in the second half and had a 20-point lead after a slow start.

Still, there were missed moments. The Steelers' offense was, as usual, sluggish in the first half and had six points until shortly before halftime. Pittsburgh's promising opening drive faltered before Chris Boswell hit another 50-yard field goal. They punted on their next two drives and settled for a field goal on the other side, with costly penalties backing them up and putting them in “and long” situations from which they were able to get out. Pittsburgh finished the game with seven penalties for 50 yards, most of them on offense in the first half.

It wasn't until TJ Watt's first punchout that the offense found a way to finish, and even then Fields had to improvise on 4th-and-1 for the Steelers' first touchdown. With a sharper game, the Steelers could have advanced to 40 points.

Fields' mentality is appreciated and he has carried himself that way all year. Big wins, tough losses, he was the same guy. He is measured, looking at what can be better without getting lost in the horizon, and rejects questions about his status or the importance of victories for his future. He had the right attitude.

For Pittsburgh to accomplish its mission, the offense needs to play cleaner and Fields needs to be more precise than he was in this game. There's also the question of whether he'll be given that chance or whether Russell Wilson will overtake him next Sunday night.
