Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph took small step in the right direction in his progression in the team’s Sunday home win against the Los Angeles Rams as the second-year player out of Oklahoma State completed 22 of his 38 total pass attempts for 242 yards with a touchdown. While Rudolph’s play Sunday against the Rams was far from perfect, his numbers would have been even better had a few of his pass attempts not been dropped.
While far from official pending viewing the all-22 tape from Sunday’s game, on the surface it appears as though Rudolph had at least six of his pass attempts dropped in the contest and that doesn’t include his first attempt of the game, a short pass to tight end Nick Vannett that resulted in unnecessary roughness penalty by Rams linebacker Troy Reeder.
