DETROIT (AP) — Russell Wilson and Justin Fields led touchdown drives for the Pittsburgh Steelers, who lost 24-17 to the Detroit Lions in the preseason finale for both teams. Jermar Jefferson rushed for two touchdowns for the Lions, including a go-ahead, 7-yard run in the fourth quarter. Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin hasn’t named Wilson the starting quarterback, but has said repeatedly that the veteran is in the “pole position” for the job. The 35-year-old Wilson completed both of his pass attempts to set up an opening-drive touchdown. Fields took over from there and had an uneven performance. Lions starting quarterback Jared Goff didn’t play.
