Russell Wilson isn’t the only quarterback this week making his season debut start, as former Steelers QB Mason Rudolph is taking over signal-calling duties in Week 7. Rudolph will make his first start for the Tennessee Titans, as their former starting QB Will Levis is currently nursing a shoulder injury.
Mason Rudolph almost single-handedly revitalized the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense at the end of the 2023 season and led the team to a playoff berth against the Buffalo Bills in the 2023 AFC Wild Card game. While Rudolph couldn’t finish the job and help the ‘Steel City’ achieve their aspirations of a seventh Lombardi trophy, and would ultimately leave Pittsburgh the following offseason, Rudolph holds a special place in the hearts of Steelers fans.
