Steelers OT sets record straight on viral Aaron Rodgers celebration fail

Despite the Thursday Night Football loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, the Pittsburgh Steelers' offense was firing on all cylinders—thanks in large part to quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The 41-year-old threw for four touchdowns while aiding his team to 31 points on the road in the loss. In the process, Rodgers passed former teammate and Hall of Famer Brett Favre on the all-time NFL passing yards list.

But the wildest moment involving Rodgers happened after the play... and he wasn't happy about it.

Following a 68-yard touchdown pass to tight end Pat Freiermuth, Rodgers celebrated as he made his way to the sideline, only to be blindsided by left tackle Broderick Jones, who took the aging quarterback to the ground in excitement.
