Mason Rudolph Leads Steelers to Victory, Future Start Uncertain

Despite a dominant performance against Cincinnati, it remains unclear whether Rudolph or recovering Pickett will start the New Year's Eve game.

Pittsburgh Steelers' quarterback Mason Rudolph led the team to a dominant 34-11 win over Cincinnati, throwing for 290 yards and two long touchdowns.
Despite Kenny Pickett's healing ankle, coach Mike Tomlin has not confirmed who will start on New Year's Eve, potentially giving Rudolph another chance to prove himself.
Rudolph's performance in the game against Cincinnati was his best and most important start of his career, possibly earning him another look in Pittsburgh or elsewhere.
Steelers' wide receiver George Pickens had a standout game, becoming the first Steelers wide receiver since Antonio Brown in 2013 to have 195 yards receiving and two touchdowns in a game.
Inside linebacker Elandon Roberts sustained a pectoral injury in the second quarter, potentially joining Cole Holcomb and Kwon Alexander on injured reserve.
