While Mason Rudolph filled in capably in the second half after Roethlisberger left with an unspecified right elbow injury in a 28-26 loss to Seattle on Sunday, the Steelers find themselves at 0-2 for just the second time in Mike Tomlin's 13-year tenure. They're also facing the prospect of trying to move forward without their captain and the only player in the locker room with multiple Super Bowl rings.
"I think he's come a long way since last year," said McDonald of Rudolph, taken in the third round of the 2018 draft."So, yeah, if he's our guy, he's our guy and we're going to move forward with him." The early returns were iffy. Rudolph's first pass fell incomplete and his second was intercepted by Seattle safety Bradley McDougald when Steelers wide receiver Donte Moncrief let the ball go through his hands and smack off his facemask. McDougald made a diving grab of the carom while sliding to the sideline and the Seahawks took the lead for good six plays later.
The Steelers will need him to do both if it wants to stay afloat. Pittsburgh travels to unbeaten San Francisco next Sunday. The Steelers have struggled at times on the West Coast in recent years and haven't beaten the 49ers on the road since 1999.
