‘His Helmet Went Blank’: Connor Heyward Says Aaron Rodgers Had ‘Technical Difficulties’ On Steelers’ Final Drive

The Steelers’ Week 4 win over the Vikings felt secure most of the way, but a 24-21 final made it closer than it should have been. With 2:08 left, one Vikings timeout, and the two-minute warning, Pittsburgh only needed a first down to finish in victory formation—until technical difficulties struck.

According to Connor Heyward, Aaron Rodgers was having trouble receiving calls in his helmet, forcing him to act as the de facto coordinator in a critical moment of the game.

“I think there was technical difficulties going on with the helmet,” Heyward said via the Steelers website.
