Which Mason Rudolph will we see on Sunday?

Mason Rudolph had a very average game before getting injured. He was 13 for 20 for 131 yards passing. That was an ordinary day for Mason Rudolph. I don’t think it was good enough to win.

There was a scary moment when Mason Rudolph was injured. He was hit in two directions, and it looked like the first hit from Earl Thomas was the one that knocked him unconscious. I sank into my chair in reverence for Mason Rudolph when he lay on the field was not moving in an unconscious state. I was relieved to see him walk off the field even if there was a cart debacle.

The good news is that Devlin Hodges looked good in his action against the Ravens. I would like to see him start the next game even if Mason Rudolph makes it out of concussion protocol.

I would first like to see Mason Rudolph get plenty of rest, and the second reason is I want to see what the Steelers have in Devlin Hodges. I have a feeling he is a good player.

Will the Steelers be able to shut out the tight end?

Mark Andrews left the game with an injury, and that injury seems to be nagging him. It is a foot injury that he hasn’t been able to recover from. I think overall; the Steelers were able to keep the tight ends in check.

Mark Andrews did have five catches for 45 yards according to Pro Football Reference. That didn’t kill the Steelers, but it did sting. Hayden Hurst had four catches for 32 yards. The bad part was that Hurst caught every target thrown to him.
