The NFL has seen many backup quarterbacks play well in 2023. The most recent was Drew Lock on Monday night, leading the Seattle Seahawks to a win over the Philadelphia Eagles with a game-winning drive.
Mason Rudolph will be the next in line to get his shot, as all signs are pointing towards him starting on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. And while the Steelers’ playoff chances look bleak as ever, they still do have some sort of a path. But losing on Saturday would all but end the few pipe dreams that fans are still holding onto.
