What a grueling week this has been. As if going 0-2 couldn’t be worse, the Steelers found out Monday Ben Roethlisberger will need season-ending elbow surgery.
Pittsburgh now turn to second-year quarterback Mason Rudolph to lead the offense. While this allows seeing life without Roethlisberger and lowers expectations, the Steelers aren’t necessarily preparing the fold.
A day after the Steelers lost the face of their franchise, they made an aggressive move to create identity in their secondary. Minkah Fitzpatrick, the all-American out of Alabama, got his wish for a trade from South Beach and now has a new home in the Steel City.
