Pittsburgh Steelers To Make A Quarterback Change Against The Cleveland Browns
November 28, 2019
The Pittsburgh Steelers are going to be making a quarterback change against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin has decided to go with Devlin Hodges instead of Mason Rudolph according to Brooke Pryor of ESPN.Â
The decision to go with Hodges instead of Rudolph is an interesting choice by Tomlin. Neither Hodges or Rudolph were particularly good against the terrible and winless Cincinnati Bengals this past Sunday. Hodges only completed five of 11 passes for 118 yards, while Rudolph completed eight of 16 passes for 85 yards.

The difference was that Hodges threw a touchdown, while Rudolph threw an interception. Hodges’ touchdown was a 79-yard long bomb to James Washington, which at the time gave the Steelers a 10-7 lead. Rudolph meanwhile manufactured a solid first-quarter drive for the Steelers but had a pass in the red zone intercepted by Bengals safety Shawn Williams.
Hodges is in his rookie season in Pittsburgh after spending his collegiate career at Samford. It should also be known that Hodges was undrafted, and only has 40 career pass attempts.
It has been an interesting season for the Steelers. When Ben Roethlisberger went down with his season-ending elbow injury against the Seattle Seahawks in week two, the rest of the season looked bleak. But the Steelers have responded well, and with a record of six wins and five losses, are one of four teams that are tied for the second wildcard spot in the AFC. The others are the Oakland Raiders, Indianapolis Colts and Tennessee Titans.
