For the Pittsburgh Steelers, this season has been all about QB Aaron Rodgers. Can he be the missing piece that gets them over the hump in the playoffs? But on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals, things changed. He suffered a fractured left wrist, and that meant QB Mason Rudolph had to step in.
But that’s nothing new for Rudolph. He’s stepped in before, whether it’s just to finish out a game or to play multiple games. And head coach Mike Tomlin couldn’t be more pleased about how Rudolph performed in that tough spot.
“Can’t say enough about Mason Rudolph,” Tomlin said Tuesday during his weekly press conference, per video from the team’s YouTube channel.
