Mason Rudolph went full-on Black Sabbath after helping his Pittsburgh Steelers defeat the Seattle Seahawks for their second straight win since he took over.
The quote, “Generals gathered in their masses,” is the opening lyric from the 1970 Black Sabbath hit, “War Pigs.” Its inclusion in the caption of a recent Instagram post elicited comments from teammates Najee Harris and Joey Porter Jr. The funniest response perhaps came from Pat Freiermuth, who astutely pointed out that he published the post from McDonald’s.
Maybe it’s the Big Macs, but Rudolph’s play certainly has his squad fired up. He’s grown in leaps and bounds, learning from the bench and putting his development on display in his first two starts since 2021. Though his experience hadn’t been in-game, whatever he’s recently done off the field has led to an accurate quarterback who can see the field and has composure in the pocket. All of this has opened up the run game, which has produced 299 yards and four scores with him at the helm.
The Steelers can sneak into the postseason with a win over the Baltimore Ravens and help from the Tennessee Titans or Miami Dolphins to beat the Jacksonville Jaguars or Buffalo Bills. The last time Pittsburgh relied on Miami, it didn’t turn out so great.
