Bridgewater didn't look horrible. They should still be in the running in the weak AFC. Until playoffs where they will lose 70-0 to Cheatriots.

Tough blow for them... and the injury just seemed really weird too. No real contact or anything obvious that happened to it that I could see. He was just grabbing at his elbow every time he finished throwing a pass.

Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger out for season with elbow injury
The Pittsburgh Steelers will have to navigate the rest of their season without their mainstay at quarterback.Ben Roethlisberger will miss the remainder of the year with an elbow injury that will require surgery, coach Mike Tomlin confirmed Monday.
Tomlin said Roethlisberger underwent an MRI on Sunday evening and that the quarterback is scheduled for surgery later this week. He will be placed on injured reserve.
Roethlisberger, 37, left Sunday's 28-26 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in the second quarter and did not return. He was replaced by 2018 third-round pick Mason Rudolph, who is set to take over as the team's starter for the remainder of the season.
Mason Rudolph
Overview
Pocket quarterback with good size who has shown consistent improvement as a passer. Rudolph is more of a downfield, play-action passer than a quarterback who can win with precision and arm strength. He's a capable field reader who has the ability to operate with timing which will be important since his arm can be dull at times. Rudolph could be an early backup with the potential of becoming an average to below average starter in the league.

It’s possible, though I suspect his stock went up when it became apparent how well he kept AB under wraps

It feels like... it’s happening...
A changing of a guard is upon us, and in particular over the next year or so.
Brees out. Roethlisberger out. E. Manning fading fast. Cam Newton looking old. Matt Ryan while steady on most days is just steady and is that good enough? Etc.

Steelers gonna go in rebuild mode. Who stands atop the North now?
Baltimore
Cleveland
Steelers
Bengals
That doesn’t scare anyone.
Baltimore might be a better team with a better coach right now. But I don’t think Jackson is the answer for them.
Cleveland...who knows. Paper tigers? Legit contenders that need to put it all together?
Does it matter? The road in the AFC goes through NE at the moment

If Big Ben is going to have the Tommy John procedure, which it sounds like it could be a career ender. The rehab is prolonged and Ben is 37. His contract runs through 2021 so this was likely his last contract. If he retires next year the Steelers still would owe him $25M of his contract (signing bonus). IMO if it is Tommy John I think Ben will call it a career and collect his $25M and live happily every after.
If the axe falls on Eli in the next couple of weeks, this will mean that the only one of the top 3 QB's of the 2004 draft still starting would be Rivers. If he stays healthy I expect him to play this season and maybe 2 more years. He's already said he won't play into his 40's. His health and family are more important and he wants to coach his son in high school, which is why he still lives in San Diego.
Goff reminds me of him in some ways. A quiet leader who leads by example, but isn't afraid to "remind" people of their responsibilities. A genuinely, nice guy with no flies on him. He's the kind of guy you can really pull for and get behind. He's the perfect fit for this team culture.
