Playing his final game before his highly anticipated Week 8 matchup with the Green Bay Packers, Aaron Rodgers first had to get through the Week 7 opener on Thursday night. And what an opener it was, as the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals engaged in an instant classic, with the Bengals ultimately taking a 33-31 shootout victory.
Rodgers had quite the up-and-down evening in the defeat. While the four-time NFL MVP completed 67.6 percent of his passes for a season-high 249 yards and four touchdowns, he also threw two interceptions, both of which came in the second quarter and both of which led to Cincinnati scoring drives, as the Bengals got 10 points off the pair of turnovers.
