Remember when the Pittsburgh Steelers were 4-1? That feels like an eternity ago. Back then, Aaron Rodgers was operating the offense at a high level and the Steelers felt like a team more capable of making a postseason run than in years past.
Heading into Week 14, the Steelers have cratered. They look like a shell of the team that won four of its first five games, and although this collapse is similar to recent years, it feels like the Steelers have come crashing down to earth in more depressing fashion than usual. Part of that mood revolves around Rodgers.
