Titans' Mason Rudolph: Named as Week 16 starter

Head coach Brian Callahan announced Wednesday that Rudolph will start Sunday's game against the Colts and may also start the final two weeks of the season, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Rudolph will likely start the final three games of the season unless he gets injured or turns in a truly irredeemable performance, as there's not much reason for the Titans to turn back to Will Levis otherwise. The two quarterback have similar rate stats in many categories, but Rudolph has been far better at avoiding sacks, including this past Sunday. In the Titans' 37-27 loss to the Bengals, Rudolph attempted 26 passes and didn't take any sacks after coming on in relief of Levis, finishing with 21 completions for 209 yards, two touchdowns and an interception.
