Rush's start for injured Tagovailoa was exploited by Steelers.

Cooper Rush started for the Dolphins in Week 1 against the Steelers due to Tua Tagovailoa's oblique injury. The Steelers took advantage of Rush's start, using a defensive touchdown to stretch an otherwise precarious lead, suggesting the backup quarterback situation was exploitable.
