28. Pittsburgh Steelers (1-4)

Recap: Despite losing starting quarterback Mason Rudolph in a scary moment during this game, the Steelers hung tough and actually had a three-point lead over the Baltimore Ravens with just over two minutes left to play. However, a late field goal by Justin Tucker sent the game to overtime, and Tucker knocked another one through in the extra period to put this one away.

Pros: The Steelers played tough against a pretty good team, and did so with their third-string quarterback in Devlin Hodges from the third quarter on. Hodges played well, completing 7-of-9 passes for 68 yards. He also added 20 rushing yards on two attempts.

Cons: Rudolph was playing well before suffering a head injury. We’ll have to wait and see how long he’s out, but any amount of time missed will be yet another fatal blow to this struggling squad.

Outlook: With or without Rudolph, the Steelers have to travel to the west coast to take on the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 6. Even with their own problems, the Chargers will be no easy task for Pittsburgh, a team quickly heading for a lost season.
