One under-the-radar free agent addition that has helped every NFL playoff hopefulChidobe Awuzie and Nahshon Wright, both on one-year deals, have played well
Mason Rudolph completed 24-of-31 passes for 171 yards, one touchdown and an interception in the Steelers' 31-28, Week 12 loss to the Bears.Rudolph didn't exactly play well against one of the league's worst defenses -- one playing severely short-handed due to injury -- but his interception was more of a spectacular play by Nahshon Wright than awful throw by the quarterback. Obviously tasked with keeping the ball underneath and avoiding turnovers, Rudolph had just one completion longer than 20 yards, and it went for 21 in the first quarter. The formula almost worked as the Steelers generated 186 yards on the ground, but this was a game where the other quarterback, Caleb Williams, simply made more plays in a tight contest. Aaron Rodgers' (wrist) health is predictably proving difficult to parse -- he made it seem like he was almost ready to start, only to not even be active as the emergency No. 3 quarterback -- but it seems more likely than not Rodgers is back for Week 13 against the Bills, returning Rudolph to the bench.
