Steelers Stick with Mason Rudolph for Playoffs Despite Pickett's Recovery

Rudolph's performance boosts team's average points as Watt's absence poses challenge.

Mason Rudolph, the Pittsburgh Steelers' quarterback, has been confirmed to lead the team in their playoff trip to Buffalo, despite Kenny Pickett's recovery from ankle surgery.
Rudolph has led the Steelers to three consecutive wins, boosting the team's average points per game from 17 to 27.
Rudolph's future with the Steelers remains uncertain as his contract is due to expire, and he may seek opportunities elsewhere.
T.J. Watt, the NFL sack leader, will be absent due to a knee injury, with Nick Herbig and Markus Golden stepping in.
The Steelers are hopeful that Pro Bowl safety Minkah Fitzpatrick will return after missing three games due to a knee injury.
