For the first time in decades, a quarterback other than Ben Roethlisberger will be starting a playoff game for the Pittsburgh Steelers. And as we all expected, that will be Mason Rudolph, who until recently had been the third-string quarterback for the past two years.
While he’s still officially second on the depth chart, he’s become number one in our hearts, as long as he keeps the Steelers winning. He has a tall task ahead of him against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, but for former NFL QB David Carr, he doesn’t want to see Pittsburgh dabbling in contingency plans this week with Kenny Pickett.
