Touchdown Wire’s Pat Yasinskas shares 9 things we learned from Sunday’s Week 12 NFL games.

1. Mason Rudolph could be watching rematch from the sideline

Rudolph, who was hit with his own helmet by Cleveland’s Myles Garrett last week was the league’s most sympathetic figure for a brief time. No more. The Pittsburgh quarterback was ineffective against Cincinnati, completing eight of 16 passes for 85 yards and an interception. He was yanked in the third quarter for Devlin Hodges, who led the Steelers to a win over Cincinnati. Hodges threw for 118 yards and one touchdown. That means Rudolph could be benched in the rematch with the Browns and Hodges could get the start.
