16 weeks into the 2019 season, the feelgood story may have finally come to an end for the Pittsburgh Steelers. There is still some hope remaining that the story can continue into 2020, if a couple of dominoes line up right for them next week. But yesterday’s game certainly felt like an ending. At the very least, a buzzkill.
Over the course of the past month and a half or so, the focal point of the good feelings had become Devlin Hodges, the rookie quarterback out of Samford. Undrafted, unsigned, he was invited to the team’s rookie minicamp, the second he attended, and he slowly but surely worked his way up from there.
