Mason Rudolph is officially the starting quarterback in Pittsburgh. Not just because of injury this time, as Mike Tomlin officially announced the Steelers are sticking with Rudolph despite Pickett being healthy enough to return. His play and the offense’s performance with him at the helm have warranted the starting nod.
Last week, in the 34-11 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, he had a nice statline of 17-27 for 290 yards and two touchdowns, but Pro Football Focus gave him a 65.0 overall grade. He missed a couple throws in that game, one to a wide open Diontae Johnson for example, and that probably hurt his grade a bit.
