Steelers lose game to Jets, 16-10, as well as control of their playoff fate

If it walks like duck and talks like a duck...I’m not referring to Steelers rookie quarterback Devlin “Duck” Hodges, at least not entirely.

But now that I think about it, I suppose it was just a matter of time before an undersized and undrafted free-agent, who was cut in training camp, would come crashing back down to Earth after spending a few weeks in the rarefied air of unrealistic expectations. And if Hodges total regression wasn’t clear one week earlier with a four-interception performance in a loss to the Bills on Sunday Night Football, it became crystal on Sunday, after a two-interception performance in a 16-10 road-loss to the Jets that now leaves the team’s playoff chances in limbo.
