After Trump's appearance, fans weighed in with their reactions.
"Good to see Donald Trump relaxing at the Steelers game after a hard day's work at McDonalds," one fan said on X, formerly known as Twitter.
"Donald Trump at the Steelers game tonight. Fairly certain he'll try to visit the showers post game. Gotta keep the legacy of Arnold Palmer alive," another fan added.
Justin Fields Breaks Silence on Benching
The Pittsburgh Steelers made a major shakeup in their matchup with the Jets. After missing the first six weeks with a calf injury, Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson made his Steelers debut on Sunday Night Football. Fourth-year man Justin Fields started the season under center and did a fairly decent job controlling the reins. He led the Steelers to a 4-2 record, including a 3-0 start in Wilson's absence. But head coach Mike Tomlin has decided to go with a more seasoned quarterback under center as the season inches closer to the playoffs.
When discussing the quarterback change made by the coaching staff, Fields says that being benched was a situation he could have avoided by playing better.
"I don't think I played good enough, if I'm being real with you," Fields said, via ESPN's Brooke Pryor. "If I'm being real with myself, I think if I did play well enough, I don't think there would be any sort of who should be playing, who should not."
However, Fields' replacement, Russell Wilson had nothing but glowing things to say about his performance thus far.
"I think first of all, Justin has done a great job," Wilson told reporters on Thursday. "I think Justin's a tremendous quarterback. I've gone against him over the years. He's a tremendous football player and a great teammate. I think more importantly for us as we continue to go on through the season, we want to get better and continue to grow. That's always the goal every year."
