Mason Rudolph stepped up as the starting quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers and delivered an exceptional performance, potentially the best game of his career, just before Christmas. During the game against the Cincinnati Bengals, which was broadcast on NBC and available for streaming on NFLPlus, Rudolph achieved a notable milestone by throwing for two touchdowns, completing 17 out of 27 attempts, and amassing 290 passing yards. This feat matched the combined total of 2+ passing touchdown games by all other Steelers quarterbacks in 2023 and equaled Kenny Pickett's career total. His performance sparked chants of his name at Acrisure Stadium, indicating strong support from the fans, and he was awarded the game ball. Some are even speculating whether Rudolph should be the team's QB1 for the remainder of the season.
