We’ll finally get to see what a true Mason Rudolph vs. Baker Mayfield showdown looks like when Rudolph has a good defense on his side.
The two former Bedlam rivals will face off Thursday night in Thursday Night Football when Rudolph’s Steelers head to Cleveland to take on the woeful Baker-led Browns. Pittsburgh is 5-4 coming into this game on a four-game win streak, while the Browns, 3-6, enter the night having lost four of their last five.
Rudolph hasn’t been stellar in place of injured quarterback Ben Roethlisberger this season, but thus far he hasn’t been asked to be anything but a game manager.
