The Pittsburgh Steelers' playoff hopes are slim as they are 1-4 and have lost their top two quarterbacks to injury.
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph is helped from the field after he was injured in the second half of an NFL football game against the Baltimore Ravens, Sunday, Oct. 6, 2019, in Pittsburgh. Mike Tomlin is resolute in the idea his Pittsburgh Steelers aren’t finished. However, it was easy to wonder if the veteran coach was just whistling in the dark Sunday.
“We will do what we normally do and assess it and prepare for our next opportunity,” Tomlin said. “We won’t blink. We won’t make excuses for our current state. We won’t seek sympathy for our current state. All of the things that are associated with our current state, we know and understand. While the Steelers still have 11 games and three months to overcome the two-game deficit, there is a distinct feeling their time may have already run out.
The offense was left in the hands of Devlin Hodges, an undrafted rookie from Samford, an FCS program. “I thought he represented himself well,” Tomlin said. “He gave us a chance. You have to tip your hat to him.”JuJu Smith-Schuster had the ball punched out of his arms following a 10-yard gain by cornerback Marlon Humphrey, who also recovered the loose ball at the Steelers’ 31-yard line.“I feel terrible, man,” Smith-Schuster said. “This is literally the worst feeling ever.”
The Steelers also have just over $4 million remaining under the salary cap if they were to pursue a veteran option via trade, according toHodges, for his part, believes he can lead the Steelers to wins if thrust into the starting job.
