Today’s game will mark the second opportunity for Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph to go up against another one of the quarterbacks who were drafted in the same class as him a year ago. Five were taken in the first round, and he will be facing four of them this year (Josh Rosen would have been the fifth, but he was benched prior to the Steelers playing him).
His first shot came against Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens, and he was doing well in that game, even coming up with a huge third-down conversion on the play on which Earl Thomas hit him in the head and gave him a concussion.
