The Pittsburgh Steelers host the Cincinnati Bengals Saturday for a 4:30pm kick-off and will turn to Mason Rudolph at quarterback. Head coach Mike Tomlin made the announcement yesterday, although he said there may be a slight chance Kenny Pickett could return this week.
The Bengals are early 2-1/2 point favorites.
There are two games this Saturday following the Thursday Night game. Three games are scheduled for Christmas Day Monday.
The NFL suspended defensive back Damontae Kazee for the remainder of the season after his hit on Indianapolis receiver Michael Pittman. Kazee has already been fined five times for unnecessary roughness this season, but he was ejected after the hit in last Saturday’s game. The suspension will also cost Kazee more than $600,000 in salary.
