Third-String QB Mason Rudolph Leads Steelers to Playoffs

Rudolph's Unexpected Rise Boosts Steelers' Offense and His NFL Prospects

Mason Rudolph, the Pittsburgh Steelers' third-string quarterback, has led the team to the playoffs after a series of victories over Cincinnati, Seattle, and Baltimore.
Rudolph's performance has been a surprise, throwing for 719 yards and three touchdowns without a pick during the crucial wins.
Rudolph's opportunity came after injuries to the team's first and second-string quarterbacks, Kenny Pickett and Mitch Trubisky.
The Steelers' offense has averaged 27 points a game since Rudolph took over in late December.
Rudolph's future in the NFL was uncertain earlier this year, but his recent performance has boosted his prospects.
