Browns defender takes not-so-subtle shot at Mason Rudolph

In just a week the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns will square off for the second time in three weeks and you can bet this one is going to get weird. The first time around the Browns beat the Steelers 21-7 and Pittsburgh quarterback Mason Rudolph was made a fool by the Browns defense.

Rudolph was benched in this week’s game and Cleveland defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson was asked about it after his game. He fired back quick he didn’t care but then answered back he hopes he plays against the Browns.

When asked why he made it clear. “You see him against us?”

That stings but he isn’t wrong. Rudolph threw four ugly interceptions against the Browns and probably should have been benched well before then. Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin has a serious decision to make about which quarterback to start this week. Does he go back to the quarterback with the hot hand in Devlin Hodges or does Tomlin hope Rudolph can bounce back?
