Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin spoke to the media on Tuesday and announced that Mason Rudolph will start at quarterback versus the Cleveland Browns this weekend and he would be resting Ben Roethlisberger.

The Steelers have very little to play for this weekend as they are already assured a spot in the playoffs and can be no worse than the No. 3 seed.

In case you just became a Steelers fan this week, you might not know the history between the Browns and Rudolph. Last season, in the Steelers first game between Cleveland, Browns defensive end Myles Garrett got into a scrum with Rudolph at the end of the game which ended with Garrett bludgeoning Rudolph on the head with his own helmet.
