Poor decisions create a domino effect. On Sunday, the Pittsburgh Steelers watched everything collapse at once. Their lingering issues at the quarterback position continue to fester, and this time the weight fell directly on Aaron Rodgers.
The four-time All-Pro’s competitive spirit has been both a blessing and a curse throughout his professional career. It’s delivered magical moments—and unforgettable mistakes.
