They protected him. That makes a huge difference.
He was today. Let's see what he does when facing a pass rush.
Helps to play against the Bengals, but yeah, he played the game of his pro career today.
I don't know how you sit him after this. I don't trust him against a competent defense, but I think they have to let try again.
I love that Rudolph called himself out for missing that open throw to Johnson.
I hate what Pickens has done the last few weeks, but he responded beautifully tonight.
I've explained this many times. Yes, they have pounded it into his head to avoid turnovers at all costs.
Why is Highsmith out of the game?
I would love to see them cut Pickett loose the way they did with Rudolph tonight.
Do not give the Bengals life by going for it here. Kick the damn field goal.
KIck the field goal.
LOL. It's one game against a horrid defense. I think they could bring Duck back an torch this team. That said, give Rudolph credit. This is a...
Motion penalty saved the Bengals about 35 seconds.
I'm going to keep being a pessimist if that is okay with everyone here.
Damn. That should have been a touchdown. Rudolph has to make that throw. He has missed twice on open deep balls and now the Steelers are in trouble.
Do not get conservative here. They cannot just keep going three-and-out here.
Why? They are facing a good offense with a ton of injuries. I'm amazed they have slowed the Bengals down this long.
So? It was such a short gain that it shouldn't matter.
It was a stupid challenge. The Steelers were better off with the completion. It was short enough that they were probably going to kick anyway, so...
Why challenge that? Isn't it better to keep the clock moving?
