Behind the Steel Curtain
The Pittsburgh Steelers continue to wait and see with quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The four-time MVP suffered a slight fracture in his left wrist at the end of the first half against the Cincinnati Bengals, leading to Mason Rudolph playing the second half of the 34-12 win.
Rodgers spoke with the media on Wednesday, revealing that he hopes to be on the practice field on Thursday.
“I was in a lot of pain,” Rodgers said via Mike DeFabo. “We were late in the play clock, called a timeout, and came over. I felt like I could go one more play and then when it and got it checked out… I’ll try to get on the field tomorrow and see what I can do.”
Rodgers highlighted the rivalry between the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears that he was part of for so long, as well, putting it in the same breath as Yankees-Red Sox and Lakers-Celtics. With a cheeky smile, Rodgers noted that when he arrived in Green Bay, the Bears were leading the all-time series, and that wasn’t the case when he left.
The Steelers will need to stack as many wins as possible in the back end of their schedule to remain ahead of the Baltimore Ravens for the AFC North lead.
