Few Pittsburgh Steelers fans would’ve marked down “WR Ben Skowronek” for scoring the team’s first touchdown of the season. But it was Aaron Rodgers finding Skowronek for a 22-yard score in what became a shootout victory Sunday afternoon. Leaving Rodgers to even admit he was surprised by the outcome.
“I couldn’t believe coming off that fake, [Skowronek] was wide open,” Rodgers told reporters post-game via the team’s YouTube channel. “I was throwing the ball thinking, man, ‘Ben’s gonna score the first touchdown today.'”
Skowronek got open running a crosser left to right. Off play-action, Rodgers found Skowronek wide open, making the catch and waltzing in the rest of the way.
