At this point, it seems like the media is continuing to make the Mason Rudolph/Myles Garrett story more than what it is. Both parties have claimed to have moved on from last year's Week 11 incident, but it was nice to seem them both officially put their differences aside after yesterday's regular season finale.

Rudolph looked impressive in the finale against the Cleveland Browns finishing 22/39, 315 yards passing, 2 touchdowns and 1 interception. When asked about his play after the game, Rudolph owned up to his play on the field.
"We knew we wanted to challenge them deep and take our shots carefully." He continued. "I got to make a better throw on the 2-point play to send us to OT."
As far as any pre, mid or postgame interactions with Garrett, Rudolph had this to say:
"Myles came over and said good game, postgame. That's all it was. I told him 'good luck,' I have a lot of respect for him."
The Steelers will play the Browns again next Sunday, Wild Card Weekend in the first round of the 2020-2021 NFL playoffs at Heinz Field.
More to come.
