The Pittsburgh Steelers had no room for error on Sunday facing off against the New York Jets, needing a win in order to remain in control of their own destiny with just one week remaining in the regular season.

After a tough start for quarterback Devlin Hodges, who threw two interceptions on the Steelers first three drives of the game, head coach Mike Tomlin did not hesitate to make a switch, sending Mason Rudolph in to take over quarterbacking duties for the Pittsburgh offense.

While the move might have come as a surprise to some, one member of Steelers Nation present at MetLife Stadium was more than prepared for the change.

The fan began the game wearing Hodges' jersey and a duck mask a tribute to Devlin's nickname "Duck." But after the team switched to Rudolph, the fan made a switch of his own, donning Rudolph's jersey and a Rudolph mask just in time for Christmas.

At the time, the switch worked for all parties involved, as Rudolph would help the Steelers erase a 10-point deficit to tie the game heading into halftime.

The quarterback carousel wouldn't stop there though. After Rudolph sustained a shoulder injury in the fourth quarter, Hodges would step back in under center for the Steelers.

In football, whether you're a fan, a coach, or a backup quarterback, it always pays to be prepared.
