Mike Vrabel: ‘Blend’ Of Aaron Rodgers, Arthur Smith Poses ‘Great Challenge’ To Patriots

The Pittsburgh Steelers visit the New England Patriots Sunday, and each team is looking for its second win of the season. It will be a challenge for the Patriots, says their head coach Mike Vrabel as he prepares to face Aaron Rodgers.

“His operation is excellent,” Vrabel said Wednesday via Patriots.com. “His ability to find relief throws in plays that he doesn’t think will be positive plays, he finds relief throws. It will be a great challenge to be able to find ways to affect him.”

Rodgers has seen two weeks of the 2025 season that have been very different.
