Steelers quarterback Devlin Hodges: I don't have anything to lose

PITTSBURGH -- Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger had one piece of advice for Devlin "Duck" Hodges on Wednesday afternoon.

"Just be yourself," he told the Pittsburgh Steelers' newest starting quarterback at practice. "Be Duck."

That's all Pittsburgh needs Hodges to be as the team squares off in a high-stakes rematch with the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.

Used in place of Mason Rudolph in the second half of last week's win against the Bengals, Hodges reinvigorated his team -- and he didn't turn the ball over.

That combination led coach Mike Tomlin to give Hodges the starting job this week.
