Aaron Rodgersā€˜ stint with the Pittsburgh Steelers has been satisfactory thus far. With a 2-1 record, following victories over his former team, the New York Jets, and the New England Patriots, as well as a loss to the Seattle Seahawks, the momentum is high as they prepare for a matchup in Dublin in Week 4 against the Minnesota Vikings.

Ahead of this showdown, Rodgers, the Steelersā€˜ quarterback, addressed the media, delivering insights on a range of topics. Among them was his enthusiasm for playing in Ireland and his thoughts on a former Pittsburgh assistant coach and current Vikings defensive coordinator, Brian Flores.

ā€œHe [Brian Flores] is a phenomenal coach,ā€ Rodgers said to the media. ā€œHe was here a few years ago. It’s good to see him in a position of leadership. I feel like he probably should, at some point, get another [head] coaching job based on the way that he’s coached defense over the last couple of years.ā€œ
