With just one game left to play, the Pittsburgh Steelers are pretty much guaranteed to do something that they have been able to avoid for nearly two decades, which is to fail to produce a 2000-yard passer. Though driven in no small part by the circumstances of injury, the team has had three different starters at the position, and even as a group, they are at risk of coming up short of 3000 passing yards as a team.
Second-year quarterback Mason Rudolph, with eight starts, has thrown for 1765 yards in 2019. But the team placed him on the Reserve/Injured List yesterday.
