Outperforming Baker Mayfield was first step for Steelers QB Devlin Hodges

Nobody out there could have predicted that undrafted rookie, Devlin Hodges, would be the Steelers starting quarterback of choice in Week 13. At the start of September, Pittsburgh had Ben Roethlisberger, Mason Rudolph, and Josh Dobbs on the roster.

However, just a trade and an injury later, the Steelers were forced to turn to Rudolph in his second NFL season. Things got off to a great start for the Oklahoma State product as he nearly led his team to a comeback victory against the Seahawks in Week 2.

While Rudolph was able to do just enough to keep his team afloat, he has not progressed like Mike Tomlin would have hoped, so Tomlin made the call to switch quarterbacks.
