Rudolph has appeared in 29 career games, 21 of which have come in a Steelers uniform, throwing for 4,615 yards with 28 touchdown passes and 20 interceptions.<\/p>\n
But that includes his time with the Titans in 2024. Tennessee earned the first-overall pick in this year’s draft by posting the worst record in the NFL. Rudolph played in eight games, making five starts, and throwing for 1,530 yards with nine touchdowns and nine interceptions.<\/p>\n
But the season did give him a different viewpoint on the league after spending his first six seasons in Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n
“I think just perspective and experience and a different staff and a different team, and a lot of adversity, but a lot of good lessons learned,” Rudolph said of his 2024 season.<\/p>\n
Now, he can take those and perhaps build upon them with the Steelers, whom he has led to an 8-4-1 record in spot starts over the course of his career. That included a 3-0 record in 2023, when Rudolph started the final three games of the season to lead the Steelers into the playoffs.<\/p>\n
“We won games down the stretch there, at an important time,” Rudolph said of that stretch. “And I just think we played complimentary football. And, you know, the more time I spend in the NFL, you learn that it takes complimentary football, special teams, offense, defense. (Tomlin) put the statistics up today. I think we were the last two years, top two, No. 2, No. 3, in turnover margin here. So that comes from the culture that Mike T has created with ball-search and ball-security, and so that’s something we’re all working towards.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rudolph has appeared in 29 career games, 21 of which have come in a Steelers uniform, throwing for…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":85112,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2055],"tags":[1050,198,7,6,914,520,57,2360,915,426],"class_list":{"0":"post-85111","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-pittsburgh-steelers","8":"tag-dale-lolley-content","9":"tag-featured","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-nfl","12":"tag-non-sponsored","13":"tag-pittsburgh","14":"tag-pittsburgh-steelers","15":"tag-pittsburghsteelers","16":"tag-sights-and-sounds","17":"tag-steelers"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114585179780721933","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/85111","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=85111"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/85111\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/85112"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=85111"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=85111"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=85111"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
