Mason Rudolph Benched + Replaced By Devlin Hodges!
Sorry Pittsburgh Steelers QB Mason Rudolph but head coach Mike Tomlin decided to go in a different direction!
Basically, Steelers’ head coach Mike Tomlin decided to bench Mason Rudolph and it led to a much-needed victory. Read on to get the drop on the change up…
CelebNSports247.com reports that the Steelers decided to keep the good times rolling benching Mason Rudolph for next week’s rematch against the Cleveland Browns and announce Devlin Hodges as the starter.
When asked why he made the change, Mike Tomlin responded with a savage, yet honest quote that pretty much threw Mason Rudolph under the bus.
Why Devlin Hodges?
Tomlin: “He has not killed us.”

According to Tomlin, Rudolph has been so-so with his play since in 2019 but has been downright terrible in the past two games, including him throwing four interceptions against the Browns. Not to mention the controversial game that saw a brawl break out at the end of it.
As for the Bengal’s game, Rudolph added one more interception before he got benched.
After a 3-and-out top open the 2nd half, he was sat for Hodges who would go on to throw a long TD pass on his second throw of the game.
Tomlin: “I’m not going to talk expectations. I expect (Hodges) to not kill us.”

It looks like the Steelers have made the right move. Hopefully, Mason is benched indefinitely.
