You know Browning and Mullens, DeVito and Flacco
Easton Stick, Aidan O’ Connell and (yecch) Zach-O
But Steelers fans, do you recall?
The best QB backup of all…
Rudolph The Red-Hot Savior
Has a damn effective arm
Bengals fans who just saw him
Saw that it would do them harm
All of the other QBs
Had Steelers fans call them names (you especially, Mitch Trubisky)
They never let poor Rudolph
Start in any recent games
Then one day ‘fore Christmas Eve,
Tomlin came to say,
Rudolph, with your upside bright,
Won’t you guide our team tonight?
And look what happened, per CBS Sports’ Bryan DeArdo
Then how the towel-wavers loved him
As they shouted out with glee
Rudolph The Red-Hot Savior
You’ll Go Down In History!
(And if you don’t think there weren’t more than a few celebrants indulging in an Iron City or two with noses that look just like this cute little guy’s at watering holes near the Confluence after this performance, exactly 51 years to the day after the Immaculate Reception…)
Courage…
