Steelers ‘Playing High-Quality Football’ Under Mason Rudolph, Bills’ McDermott Says

While 12 of the 14 teams that have made the postseason have their intended starting quarterback in the lineup, two are starting reserves—one by choice. That would be the Pittsburgh Steelers, who move forward for a fourth game with Mason Rudolph, the second for which starter Kenny Pickett will dress as his backup.

Head coach Mike Tomlin told reporters about the decision on Tuesday that he was riding the hot hand and deflected any questions about the depth chart that still lists Pickett ahead. None of that matters at the end of the day for the Buffalo Bills.
