Steelers stick with Hodges after four-INT game

PITTSBURGH -- Devlin "Duck" Hodges, who threw four interceptions in the Steelers' loss to the Bills, will remain the starting quarterback for another week, coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday.

Tomlin said he looks forward to giving the undrafted rookie an opportunity to rebound from his worst start to date.

"I think it's reasonable to expect growth from young players as they get exposure," Tomlin said. "Sometimes that exposure can be negative exposure, like his experience in the last game, but exposure nonetheless is a tool for growth.

"Particularly at the quarterback position, I think it's reasonable to expect him to learn from those negative experiences from last Sunday night and apply it to this next opportunity and really, hopefully not make those same mistakes twice.
