Aaron Rodgers admitted that during the game against the New York Jets he wasnât at one hundred percent due to back problems. Even so, the quarterback threw four touchdown passes, and the Pittsburgh Steelers won their first game of the 2025 season with a 34-32 score.
âI was a little tight. My back was a little tight. I donât think I was moving that well. I think I kind of ran into at least one or two sacks. So, I got to do a better job using my legs. I might be old, but I still feel like I can move around pretty good, and I wasnât moving the way I usually like to move.â
Rodgersâ statement is very interesting as it clearly puts the blame on himself and takes the pressure off the offensive line after four sacks. That unit was heavily criticized for its performance in Week 1, but according to the former Super Bowl champion with the Packers, he was responsible for half of them due to his lack of mobility.
What is the Steelersâ next game?
The Steelersâ next game will be against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 2. It will be Mike Tomlinâs teamâs home opener and Aaron Rodgersâ first game in front of the fans in Pittsburgh.
Then, in Week 3, the Steelers will visit the New England Patriots, and in Week 4 they will have a very special moment facing the Minnesota Vikings in Ireland. Their bye will come early in Week 5.
