On ESPN’s First Take, a spirited debate erupted over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The back-and-forth focused on whether they would surpass or fall short of the 8.5-win over/under line. Joe Fortenbaugh, Stephen A. Smith and Damien Woody presented contrasting viewpoints, with Damien Woody’s comments adding a layer of complexity to the discussion.
Fortenbaugh predicted an “under” outcome, expressing significant concerns about the Steelers’ offense. He cited Aaron Rodgers’ age and recent inconsistency in performance.
“You’ve got a 40-plus-year-old quarterback who hasn’t had a good season in what, three years last year,” he said.
Aaron Rodgers showed flashes of his old MVP form towards the end of last season.
