As we all anticipated at the start of September, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ season will lie on the shoulders of QB Mason Rudolph. He entered the year as the third-string quarterback, but is for now the starter in a healthy quarterback room.
Now, the Steelers don’t automatically get into the playoffs if they beat the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday. They also don’t automatically get eliminated if they lose. But it would be a lot easier if they do win, so it’s fortunate that Baltimore locked up the top spot and is predictably opting to rest some starters.
