Even if Kenny Pickett can play, it will be Mason Rudolph who will defend the Steelers' last hopes of making the playoffs.
With a victory against the Seahawks this weekend, the Steelers still have a chance to qualify for the playoffs. But for that we will have to win in the last week, against no less than the Ravens, the best team in the AFC this year.
With this in mind, Mike Tomlin reappointed Mason Rudolph as starting quarterback. And this, even if Kenny Pickett has recovered from his ankle injury and is declared fit.
“I think Kenny's availability is less in question this week. Despite this, we are going to leave the ball in Mason Rudolph's hands,” the head coach explained to ESPN.
With Rudolph at the helm, the Steelers are coming off two wins in a row, and have once again ensured a positive season. In two starts this year, Rudolph completed 68.5% of his passes, for 567 yards, 2 touchdowns and 0 interceptions.
