Pittsburgh Steelers undrafted rookie quarterback Devlin Hodges had a miserable showing in the team’s Week 16 road loss to the New York Jets and it resulted in the Samford product being benched in the first half following his second interception of the contest, which was his eighth overall in just 135 total pass attempts. While Hodges was inserted back into Sunday’s game in the second half after quarterback Mason Rudolph suffered an injured shoulder, he failed to produce any scoring drives.
With Hodges now set to start the Steelers Sunday road regular season finale against the Baltimore Ravens, a game the team needs to win to give them a better shot at making the playoffs, head coach Mike Tomlin was asked during his Tuesday press conference what all he needs to see this week from Hodges that will let him know that the young quarterback is ready to rebound after having the two starts of the season the last two weeks.
