Mark Kaboly - The Athletic

Mark Kaboly of The Athletic joined the show. Kaboly believes things changed on Friday when Pickett learned he was going to be inactive. He thinks Mason knew he was going to start against Seattle the whole time, Pickett got ankle surgery to come back quicker, but didn't start against the Seahawks. Does he feel a sense of betrayal?  Mason Rudolph probably needs some reassurance to return to the Steelers and feel good about it. If he is in an open competition with Pickett, it says a lot about Kenny and his inability to sustain the starter spot going into his third season. Mark doesn't like the Steelers chances to get into the playoffs. The best way might be where Houston and Indianapolis don't tie and Denver wins. He doesn't think they're going to make it.
