Ask Alex: Steelers Mailbag

Welcome to your weekly mailbag. We’re here for the next hour with anything Steelers related you want to ask about.

To your questions!

Andrew Black:

Hey Alex,

Saw a few reports that the Steelers asked Rudolph to play it safe against the Bengals. Do you think Tomlin/Randy called a more simple game due to the Bengals being a worse team, and to keep bigger plays for the Ravens game knowing it would be a little more competitive?

Alex: Nah, it had nothing to do with Baltimore. You’re not trying to hide tape and good plays when your offense sucks as much as it had heading into Monday night.
