With the Steelers, he started 13 of 21 games he appeared in, completing 291 of 458 passes, 63.5%, for 3,085 yards and 19 touchdowns.
Rudolph was called upon heavily in 2023, starting the last three games of the season after then starter Kenny Pickett was injured. Rudolph led the team to three straight victories and an AFC Wild Card berth.
Rudolph completed 55 of 74 passes (74.3%) for 719 yards (9.7-yard average) and three touchdowns in four games. He also started the Wild Card game against the Buffalo Bills, completing 22 of 39 passes for 229 yards and two touchdowns in the loss.
