The Pittsburgh Steelers left everybody wondering who would start at quarterback today until about two hours ahead of kickoff, but ultimately shut Aaron Rodgers down for the day and started Mason Rudolph. Tomlin announced after the game that Rodgers is likely to play in Week 13 against the Buffalo Bills.
“I anticipate him being ready for next week. It was a prudent decision to make,” Tomlin said via the Steelers’ YouTube. “It wasn’t a fluid week for him…I think it’ll be in our rearview as we move forward. I’m hopeful of that.”
It seemed like a game-time decision, but Tomlin confirmed that he made his mind up yesterday about Rudolph starting.
