Steelers' Mike Tomlin: It's Too Early to Say if Mason Rudolph Will Start vs. Seahawks

Despite Mason Rudolph leading the Pittsburgh Steelers to a 34-11 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, Mike Tomlin is not ready to name him the starter.

Per TribLIVE.com's Joe Rutter, Tomlin said that it's too early to decide if Rudolph will be the starter next week as the Steelers take on the Seattle Seahawks.

Tomlin went to Rudolph over Mitch Tribusky on Saturday, giving Rudolph his first start of the season. The fourth-year player had a strong outing, notching 290 passing yards and a pair of touchdowns to keep the Steelers' playoff hopes alive.

Pittsburgh takes on the Seahawks next week in a game that the Steelers can't afford to lose if they want to make the playoffs.
