The Steelers fell to 0-2 for only the second time during Mike Tomlin’s 13-year tenure as head coach when they dropped a 28-26 home game against the Seahawks in Week 2 of last season.

An MRI taken after the game revealed he would require season-ending surgery. Thus, Steelers fans were “treated” to the platoon of Mason Rudolph and Duck Hodges, two backups that played exactly like – well – two backups over the remainder of the 2019 season.
