I just don’t get this line of thinking. I made no secret that I was excited about the Steelers drafting Mason Rudolph, especially when they...

Steelers Film Room: Mason Rudolph was rightfully benched for putting up three points in six drives vs. Cincinnati
Photo by Ian Johnson/Icon Sportswire via The Pittsburgh Steelers decided to go with Devlin Hodges midway through the Cincinnati Bengals Week 12 game, and there were plenty of reason why.
