Pittsburgh Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers turned back the clock against the Baltimore Ravens.
The Pittsburgh Steelers got a massive win on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens behind a vintage outing from QB Aaron Rodgers.
Despite having three fractures in his left wrist, Rodgers torched the Ravens for 284 passing yards, one passing touchdown and one rushing touchdown.
NFL analyst Brent Sobleski of Bleacher Report was so impressed by Rodgers' performance that he gave the future Hall of Famer an A.
"What a difference a week makes. The Pittsburgh Steelers offense managed only 166 yards in the team's loss to the Buffalo Bills. Seven days later, wide receiver DK Metcalf nearly produced that number all by himself," Sobleski wrote.
"Aaron Rodgers said the team needed to be held accountable after the previous performance. The 42-year-old veteran backed up his words with his best performance in nearly two months. Rodgers threw for 284 yards and provided two scores.
"More importantly, the quarterback finally got back onto the same page with Metcalf, who contributed a season-high seven receptions for 148 yards, and helped lead the team to an AFC North division lead. Grade: A."
Rodgers turned 42 on December 2, but he looked like a 32-year-old against the Ravens.
"I mean some games you feel better than others," said Rodgers. "I was just telling the linemen they will understand when they are 40. Some days you feel better than others. Wake up and there is no specific why, thinking like what did I do last night? Did I sleep wrong?
"But some days, you feel great and other days you feel maybe just good. Today, I felt great. But I felt good moving around there and then to be able to run a touchdown, it's been a long time."
In his first season with the Steelers, Rodgers has 2,370 passing yards, 20 passing touchdowns and only seven interceptions. The future Hall of Famer is completing 65.4% of his passes.
The Steelers are 7-6. They are in first place in the AFC North and currently hold the fourth seed in the AFC.
Rodgers and Co. face the Miami Dolphins next week.
