You are all familiar with the expression of “adding insult to injury.” In Sunday’s matchup between the Steelers and Ravens, it almost felt like adding injury to insult. In the midst of a frustrating loss during a heated division battle, Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph, who has taken over as the starter for an injured Ben Roethlisberger for the rest of the season, collapsed after a helmet to helmet hit by Ravens safety Earl Thomas. The officials belatedly threw a flag for roughing the passer long after Rudolph hit the turf.
With the emergency cart not working properly (do not even get me started) Rudolph walked off the field with the support of team trainers.
