Ever since Aaron Rodgers signed a one-year deal with the Steelers on June 7, I circled Week 8 on the schedule.
Not because it’s the middle of the season or because it’s on Sunday Night Football — although I really do like SNF.
It’s simply because of Aaron Rodgers. You remember him right? The “complicated fella” that went to the dumpster fire that is the New York Jets before ending up in Pittsburgh. Rodgers, 41, has thrown for 1,270 yards with 14 touchdowns and five picks this season in leading the Steelers to a 4-2 record.
He is about as mobile as a block of granite, but he can still deliver the football with precision and he remains one of the smartest people in the game.
