Mike Tomlin makes it very clear Mason Rudolph is the Steelers backup QB in 2020

The Pittsburgh Steelers have rolled the dice the past two seasons at the quarterback position. When you have a franchise quarterback, teams can often always plan on having him there to help win football games.

In 2018, the Steelers parted ways with veteran backup Landry Jones and went into the season with Joshua Dobbs as the primary backup and rookie Mason Rudolph as QB3 on the depth chart. The team didn’t have to use Dobbs other than for one pass in Baltimore and a few series in Oakland.

In 2019, the Steelers played with fire again, but got burned.
