PITTSBURGH (AP) – Undrafted quarterback Devlin “Duck” Hodges isn’t the only rookie helping fuel the Pittsburgh Steelers’ playoff push. Running backs Benny Snell and Kerrith Whyte and wide receiver Diontae Johnson are chipping in to keep Pittsburgh’s drive to the postseason alive. Johnson scored both touchdowns during a 23-17 win over Arizona while Snell and Whyte combined for 81 yards rushing as the Steelers won for the seventh time in eight games. Pittsburgh holds the second wild-card spot in the AFC with three weeks remaining and could improve its postseason chances with a victory over Buffalo next Sunday night.
