Roethlisberger ‘Very Encouraged’ By Rodgers’ Performance, But Questions If He’ll Hold Up Behind O-Line

Our first glimpse at the 2025 Pittsburgh Steelers was quite an interesting one. This game defied essentially all the expectations placed upon it, and while the Steelers came out with a win, it sure wasn’t pretty. Potentially the ugliest part of their performance came from the offensive line.

That unit couldn’t do much of anything right. Rodgers didn’t have time to throw and got sacked four times. Even on some of his bigger completions, the Steelers had him rolling out of the pocket to get some extra time. The running game was also a non-factor, as the line couldn’t give their running backs any sort of room.
