The Devlin Hodges Age begins in Pittsburgh with the rookie from Samford getting the call onto the road against the Chargers in Los Angeles.
He started as a undrafted free agent to fourth-string from the preseason supporting Roethlisberger, Rudolph, and Dobbs. Hodges has escalated all the way to Roethlisberger and Rudolph to the starting quarterback because of accidents.
With Roethlisberger gone to the season and Rudolph taking a vicious hit against the Ravens. Rudolph knocking him out cold was unloaded on by earl Thomas. Rudolph was ultimately diagnosed with a concussion and will be inaccessible against the Chargers this week. For the Steelers and Rudolph, it wont be something that disturbs him long-term. He returned to practice this week and also that there was a prospect of acting against the Chargers.
Rudolph, will not be set up on Sunday Night Football and however, has been ruled out. The Steelers need a big operation from Hodges on the Path. The division is wide open, at 3-2 the pioneers 14, with all the Ravens. The Browns have been inconsistent and the Bengals will be the Bengals. That leaves the door open for the Steelers to stay around. They can continue to keep the Ravens using a triumph on the shore.
The Chargers are coming off an unpleasant display against the Denver Broncos in the home last Sunday. Philip Rivers was held responsible for 211 yards and two interceptions. Melvin Gordons long-awaited introduction was a dud, since he had been held down for 31 yards on 12 carries.
After hanging out a full couple of the season and training camp, Gordon had some rust to shake . Well likely see his match start to open up punctually. Head below for our free Steelers vs. Chargers pick in NFL Week 6 to Sunday Night Football.

Devlin Hodges impressed to cause his services to be retained by the Steelers . He looked comfortable and in command, although hodges mostly played crap time. In actuality, the Steelers were picked by me because of Hodges getting the closer role from the quarter, from the preseason. After Rudolph won the quarterback struggle josh Dobbs was traded to the Jaguars. The Steelers did maintain Hodges as a flier, and just five weeks into the year, they had been relying to run the offense.
Hodges passed for 2 touchdowns and 1 interception on 190 metres in 3 games. It doesnt appear impressive, but Hodges seemed confident out there. He seemed great with 68 metres on 7-for-9 passing, last week after taking over for Rudolph. Hodges had an opportunity to lead the Steelers into a triumph in overtime. This came to a conclusion following a fumble by JuJu Smith-Schuster. Hodges struck Smith-Schuster in stride and he also coughed the ball up shortly afterwards, which set up excellent place position for the Steelers.
The Steelers were depending to grow into a hazard in the passing game this season. They were hoping that James Conner went to breakout in LeVeon Bells absence. Neither have worked out and the Steelers havent been as volatile as in the past. Naturally, you take Bell and Antonio Brown out and the crime will regress. We also have to consider that Roethlisberger is not currently playing. Perhaps Smith-Schuster could be putting up large numbers, so opening up lanes for Conner if he had been healthy.
This is going to be very much an alternative experience for him on the road in Los Angeles while Hodges looked great in minimum action from the preseason and a week. It is primetime and also his first start at the NFL. The Chargers are not likely to be a pushover tonight. They are 11th in the league with 334.8 yards allowed per game and just 18.8 points allowed. The Chargers have allowed only 215 yards per competition against opposing quarterbacks. This should not be a walk at the picnic to Hodges in his first NFL start. He has not started a game since college at Samford and hes likely to be under the microscope on Sunday Night Football all of these sudden vs a defense that was competent.
Then theres Philip Rivers for the Steelers. Hes coming off his worst start of the season. Despite the effort that is bad, Rivers has been strong over the duration of the year. Expect the veteran to have a bounce-back performance in primetime against the Steelers on Sunday. , also, look out for Gordon becoming himself moving on the ground after getting his toes wet in his first appearance of the year. It seems like the Chargers should insure with a touchdown or more.
