The Browns will face Mason Rudolph instead of Ben Roethlisberger with a playoff berth on the line Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers at FirstEnergy Stadium.
Steelers coach Mike Tomlin announced Tuesday he will rest Roethlisberger and turn to Rudolph. The Browns (10-5) would clinch their first postseason spot since 2002 with a win over the Steelers (12-3), who secured the AFC North title this past weekend. Roethlisberger is 23-2-1 as a starter against the Browns.
