Outside of the simple fact of the loss, the biggest story out of yesterday’s game was two-fold. One: the injury suffered by Ben Roethlisberger to his throwing elbow; and two: the subsequent performance of second-year quarterback Mason Rudolph. It was the first opportunity for the Pittsburgh Steelers to get a look at the 2018 third-round pick since drafting him, and it was a positive one.
And perhaps they could get a bit of an extended look, depending upon the severity of Roethlisberger’s injury. He is scheduled to have an MRI done today, and we should hopefully know more then.
