Some may suggest that Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback Devlin “Duck” Hodges was due for a bad game. Steelers’ offensive coordinator Randy Fichtner has had more bad games than good this season but making sure Duck wasn’t put into bad spots was thought to be goal number one. What happened in the 17-10 loss to Buffalo was a perfect storm of a really good defense, a rookie with plenty of tape and a coordinator who struggles on a weekly basis.
Duck Hodges entered the game against the Bills with four touchdown passes and two interceptions. His quarterback rating was actually higher than the league average and there are reasons for that.
