Rudolph lay motionless on the ground for several momonets as teammates rallied around him. The injury cart came on to the field for Rudolph, but due to a cart malfunction, Rudolph came off the field with the aide of his teammates.
Good thing Rudolph didn't need the cart. It's now getting pushed off the field. Apparently rant out of gas. #Steelers #dkps

Rudolph was 13 of 20 passing for 131 yards and a 35-yard touchdown to JuJu Smith-Schuster before exiting the game. Back up Devlin Hodges is now in as the Steelers quarterback.
Rudolph walks off with the support of Finney and Banner. Looks like the cart broke down on the field. Hodges goes in. #Steelers
