Mason Rudolph 'scheduled' to make another start for Steelers
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph is "scheduled to be the quarterback" in Week 17 against the Seattle Seahawks, per head coach Mike Tomlin.
What It Means:
Tomlin said Rudolph will take the first-team reps at practice to start the week while the team continues to evaluate Kenny Pickett (ankle). Rudolph completed 17 of 27 pass attempts for 290 yards and 2 touchdowns with no turnovers in the Steelers' 34-11 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 16.
Rudolph is averaging 0.24 Passing Net Expected Points per dropback while Pickett is registering negative-0.05 Passing NEP on 347 attempts this season. The Bengals have the No. 26 pass defense in numberFire's opponent-adjusted efficiency rankings, so Rudolph benefitted from a plus matchup last week. He will face the Seahawks' No. 14 pass defense in Week 17.
