Mike Tomlin Cites Joshua Dobbs’ Mobility As ‘X Factor’, Says ‘It’s A Possibility’ He Could See Time In Postseason

If there is one thing to take away from today’s game versus the Cleveland Browns, it is the fact that the Pittsburgh Steelers decided not only to install but to utilize a sub-package for third-string quarterback Joshua Dobbs, a fourth-year man who has speed and athleticism for the position.

With Ben Roethlisberger sitting out the game in preparation for the postseason, it was perfect timing to try something else out. Head coach Mike Tomlin did say that they would by no means be laying down for this game, and he clearly decided that supplementing Mason Rudolph with a Dobbs sub-package was a part of maximizing their chances of winning.
