Mason Rudolph officially has one start under his belt. He entered this season as the number three quarterback, having spent every game of his rookie season sitting on the bench without a uniform on. While he won the backup job this summer, he was still firmly rooted in that number two role, behind a two-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback in Ben Roethlisberger.
Rudolph is the first person to remind people that this is still Roethlisberger’s team, even now that he is on the Reserve/Injured List with an elbow issue that will keep him out for the season and which will be operated upon shortly.
