The Pittsburgh Steelers have decided to go in a new direction at the quarterback position as they look to close out a strange 2019 season on a high note and compete for the playoffs.

After Mason Rudolph took over in Week 2 as the team’s starting quarterback after Ben Roethlisberger’s season-ending injury, he has been the lead signal-caller for the 6-5 Steelers.

However, after being benched in favor of undrafted rookie Devlin Hodges halfway through the team’s scrappy win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, coach Mike Tomlin has decided that Hodges will take over as starting quarterback.

The team announced on Tuesday that Hodges, nicknamed “Duck,” will start in the team’s rematch against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.

Hodges will start his second game of the season this weekend after he led the Steelers to a 24-17 win over the Chargers in Week 6, the only previous start of his professional career.

The 23-year-old Alabama native has completed 27 of 40 passes on the year for 318 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 1 interception.

He will be tasked with leading Pittsburgh, who currently finds themselves clinging onto the AFC’s final Wild Card slot, to what would be a huge win against the team’s eternal rival this weekend, which would be huge for their playoff hopes.

Week 10 of the NFL season has come and gone, and unbelievably, we are already nearly 60% of the way through the season.

There were clashes of titans last weekend, like the Sunday clash between the Seahawks and the 49ers, as well as memorable performances such as Ravens QB Lamar Jackson’s demolition of the Cincinnati Bengals.

Here is a look at the biggest winners of Week 10 in the National Football League.

Lamar Jackson

Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson absolutely went off in his team’s 49-13 rout of the Bengals on Sunday. The current MVP frontrunner had arguably his best game as a professional, throwing for a total of 223 yards and 2 touchdowns on only 15 completions, also chipping in with 65 yards on the ground and a rushing touchdown.

At this point, Jackson and the 7-2 Ravens are one of the biggest surprises of the NFL season, and they’ll be looking to do even more down the stretch and into the playoffs.

Seattle Seahawks

Who said the NFC West race was already finished? The Seahawks, who have won the division in three of the past six seasons, climbed back into the hunt with a gritty Sunday night win over the previously-unbeaten 49ers that went into overtime at Century Link Field.

The Seahawks now sit at 8-2, only a half-game behind San Francisco, and have quarterback Russell Wilson playing arguably the best football of his career. Can Seattle hunt down Jimmy Garroppolo’s 49ers down the stretch? It looks even more possible now.

Ryan Tannehill

Not many expected the Titans to get much production out of new starting quarterback Ryan Tannehill after Marcus Mariota’s benching, but the former Dolphins quarterback has shown that he has something to offer.

Tannehill went off in the Titans’ surprising Sunday win over the Kansas City Chiefs, throwing for 181 yards and 2 touchdowns in a 35-32 thriller. Not only this, but he showed his steely veteran nerve down the stretch as he led the Titans down the field on their game-winning drive. He’s now thrown for 1,161 yards with 8 touchdowns and 4 interceptions since taking over. Has the former first-rounder revived his career?

Oakland Raiders

After all of the pre-season turmoil and question marks related to an inexperienced roster as well as the Antonio Brown saga, few could have pictured the Raiders with a 5-4 record and tied with the Steelers for the AFC’s final wild-card spot.

Yet, here we are. Jon Gruden’s team advanced past .500 for the first time all season with a 26-24 win over the Chargers on Thursday night. What’s even more surprising is that they only trail Kansas City by a half-game in the AFC West race. Could they shock the world and make the playoffs?

The second week of the NFL season has come and gone. Some unexpected results, like the Titans´home loss to the Andrew Luck-less Colts, as well as some expected dominance, like the Pats’ huge win over the Dolphins, were part of this weekend’s action.

Here are the biggest winners of Week 2.

Seattle Seahawks

The Seahawks extended their record to 2-0 with a tight 28-26 win in Pittsburgh on Sunday. Neither of their first two games were pretty, with their first game resulting in a squeaked-out win against the Bengals. Nonetheless, no one in the Pacific Northwest can be upset about the team’s performance as a whole.

Quarterback Russell Wilson was the star of the show at Heinz Field last weekend, completing 29 of 35 passes for 300 yards and 3 touchdowns, one of the best games in his excellent career. Could they challenge the Rams in the NFC West?

Dak Prescott

Dak Prescott might still be waiting on the big contract extension that his running back partner Ezekiel Elliott got, but he might not have to wait for long if he keeps playing like he did in Week 2 for the Cowboys in a 31-21 win at FedEx Field.

Prescott has the Cowboys’ offense flying high, and no one can doubt his importance to the team after Week 2. The third-year signal caller went 26-30 in the air with 269 passing yards, 3 touchdowns, and only one interception. Cowboy Nation loves their franchise quarterback, and it’s easy to see why.

Buffalo Bills

The Bills might’ve been one of the least likely teams to start 2019 with a 2-0 record, yet here we are. After squeaking by the Jets at Metlife Stadium in Week 1, they returned on Sunday and won in convincing fashion, beating the Giants 28-14.

Buffalo’s strength lies in its defensive solidity. The team has only allowed 30 points in its first two games and is allowing the sixth-fewest yards per game in the league. If Josh Allen and Buffalo’s running attack, spearheaded by Frank Gore, can be halfway competent, the Bills could find themselves sneaking into playoff contention.

2017 Cleveland Browns and 2008 Detroit Lions

Why are two teams that aren’t even participating in this NFL season on the list? Well, chock it up to this year’s Miami Dolphins.

There’s company in misery, and the ’17 Browns and ’08 Lions could be joined by this year’s Dolphins as the only teams in league history to have gone 0-16. The Dolphins were embarrassed by the Patriots on Sunday, losing 43-0, and looked completely non-competitive. Can head coach Brian Flores get something out of a very limited roster? It looks unlikely.

After months of drama, uncertainty, and controversy, Antonio Brown finally let his play do the talking on Sunday.

Brown caught four passes from Tom Brady, including a 20-yard touchdown, in his New England Patriots debut. He finished the day with 56 receiving yards and 8 targets from Brady.

The former Pittsburgh Steelers star had an offseason for the ages, forcing his way out of his old team and ending up with the Oakland Raiders.

After a bizarre off-season that included a burned foot injury after a cryotherapy session gone wrong, a grievance over a helmet with the NFL, and a locker room confrontation with Raiders GM Mike Mayock, he found himself released by the team that traded for him just a few months ago.

Brown signed a one-year deal with the Patriots last week, pledging to focus on football and be an asset for the defending Super Bowl champions’ high-flying offense. He got off to a good start in New England’s blowout 43-0 win in Miami.

The 31-year-old wideout is expected to be one of quarterback Tom Brady’s favorite weapons along with Josh Gordon and Julian Edelman. If he can continue to produce on the field, the Pats and coach Bill Belichick will be happy with their risky bet.

The first week of the NFL season is behind us. There were some expected wins, surprising defeats, and standout performances in the opening week. It’s time to take a look at some of the biggest winners of the National Football League’s first week.

New England Patriots

The reigning Super Bowl champions spanked the Pittsburgh Steelers by a 33-3 final score in their Sunday night season opener in Foxborough. Tom Brady looked to be his normal dominant self, the Pats’ defense completely shut down the Steelers’ potent attack, and Bill Belichick’s squad looks to be a favorite to win the title again.

They also signed uber-talented Antonio Brown after his release from the Raiders. If any team can get the most out of the troubled wideout, it’s the Patriots.

Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson

The Ravens dominated the Miami Dolphins in a Week 1 blowout by a 59-10 final and they also saw that quarterback Lamar Jackson improved greatly with his throwing skills.

Jackson put on a clinic against Miami, completing 17 of 20 passes for 324 yards and five touchdowns in a flawless performance. Baltimore could easily show themselves to be AFC North favorites if the second-year signal-caller continues at this torrid pace.

Oakland Raiders

It’s hard to imagine that the Raiders would’ve appeared on this list considering all of the turmoil the team experienced last week with the Antonio Brown saga that ended with their prized off-season acquisition being released. But could it be that the Raiders are better off without him?

Oakland was impressive in a 24-16 season-opening win against the Denver Broncos. Coach Jon Gruden said that the team will be fine without Brown, and that certainly appeared to be the case. Off-season free agent signing Tyrell Williams had a huge night, hauling in 6 passes for a total of 105 yards and a touchdown.

Arizona Cardinals GM Steve Keim

After a disappointing 2018 season that saw the Cardinals finish with the NFL’s worst record, the pressure was on Keim to choose wisely with the first pick in the 2019 Draft. If Week 1 is any indication, he did well.

Arizona’s season opener finished in a 27-27 tie against the Detroit Lions, but Kyler Murray stole the show. The #1 overall pick threw for 308 yards and 2 touchdowns with an interception. He didn’t look perfect, but the Cardinals’ rookie QB is only 22 years old and appears to be full of tantalizing potential.

The Oakland Raiders thought that wide receiver Antonio Brown was going to be a talented and dynamic addition to its offense when they acquired him over the offseason from the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Unfortunately for Jon Gruden’s team, Brown has been nothing but a headache so far.

After a weeks-long dispute with the team and the NFL over the type of helmet that Brown wanted to use for the season after it was banned by the league due to safety concerns, he finally returned definitely to training camp last week.

Due to the number of missed practices and walk-throughs during the grievances, Brown was levied a fine by the team and GM Mike Mayock of over $50,000.

Antonio Brown took to Instagram to complain about the fines, provoking the ire of Mayock.

Now, according to several reports, Brown could be looking at a suspension that would keep him from participating in Raiders games until further notice.

The wide receiver wasn’t in the building for practice on Thursday, and the team is expected to provide more information on his status soon.

Brown and Mayock’s relationship might be irreparably strained, and a suspension could be the least of the two’s worries going forward.

The NFL season kicks off on Thursday night, kicking off a highly-anticipated campaign that will have plenty of teams vying for playoff contention.

Here’s a look at the teams that I think will be considered favorites this season in each NFL division.

AFC East: New England Patriots

The Patriots are a clear favorite to win the AFC East for the eleventh straight season. Tom Brady and Bill Belichick are back along with a strong core, and that’s about all that’s needed to win what should be a weak division with no real competition for them.

AFC North: Cleveland Browns

The Browns were one of the NFL’s breakout teams in 2018, and I expect them to keep rising and claim the AFC North title this season. Quarterback Baker Mayfield and a stout defensive line buoy Cleveland’s new swagger, and they should win enough games to hold off the Steelers for the division crown.

AFC South: Houston Texans

Had Andrew Luck not retired before the season, the Colts probably would’ve been at least stark competition to the Texans to take home the AFC South. However, with DeShaun Watson at quarterback and a strong-as-always defense, Houston should be considered the favorite.

AFC West: Kansas City Chiefs

The Chiefs might be the best team in the whole conference and should be strong favorites to win their division. Last year’s top seed in the AFC, Andy Reid has a good all-around team that has a top MVP candidate in quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Is this finally their year?

NFC East: Philadelphia Eagles

The Eagles and Cowboys should fight it out for the NFC East crown, but I’m giving the edge to the team that won the Super Bowl just two seasons ago. Why? Quarterback Carson Wentz will have the reigns to a pass-friendly offense that should lead them to score enough points to be on top of the division.

NFC North: Green Bay Packers

This is one of the toughest divisions to predict, with the Vikings and Bears also having legitimate shots to claim the crown. However, I’ll take the old standby. The Packers should have some new ideas on offense with a healthy Aaron Rodgers and a new coach in Matt LeFleur. I’m taking them.

NFC South: New Orleans Saints

Drew Brees might be the best quarterback in the NFL, and in this offense-driven league, that could make all the difference. Matt Ryan and the Falcons will be hot on New Orleans’ heels, but dynamic running back Alvin Kamara could be the difference-maker for the team from the Big Easy.

NFC West: Los Angeles Rams

The Rams made the Super Bowl last season before falling to the Patriots, and it would be silly not to pick them as repeat NFC West Champions. Aaron Donald is the best defensive player in the league, Jared Goff is one of the league’s breakout stars, and Sean McVay is bright, innovative, and an offensive genius. They’re the team to beat in the west.
