After leading the Pittsburgh Steelers to back-to-back wins and putting up 30-plus points over the last two weeks, Mike Tomlin has made it official that Mason Rudolph will start Pittsburgh’s season finale against the Baltimore Ravens.
“We’re going to leave the ball in Mason Rudolph’s hands,” Tomlin said in his Monday press conference posted on the Steelers’ YouTube page.
Over the last two games, Rudolph has gone 35-51 for 564 yards and two touchdowns with no turnovers. He’s built a nice connection with second-year wide receiver George Pickens, as Pickens has 11 receptions for 326 yards and two touchdowns, and the Steelers offense has looked like a completely different unit with Rudolph under center.
