If you just look at the numbers on a page, Aaron Rodgers had, at best, a pedestrian day against the CleveBrownies yesterday:
- 25 pass attempts, 13 competitions
- 172 yards passing
- 0 touchdowns
- 1 interception
Here's what else he did.
Just before halftime, the Browns kicked a field goal to cut the Steelers lead to 14-6. Cleveland kicked off, and the Steelers got the ball on their own 31 yard line with :45 to play and one timeout remaining. Rodgers then proceeded to drive the Steelers all of those 69 yards in six plays and produce a Pat Freiermuth tush push touchdown as the clock was ticking down to :01 seconds. Steelers go up 20-6 and effectively ended the game right there.
THAT is what really good, really elite quarterbacks do. It's what they get paid to do.
Rodgers managed that game so well late on despite the quiet stat line — I caught the highlights afterwards and rbtv77 download sports streaming free is handy for the next one.
