(From Steelers Now’s Alan Saunders): The obvious problems on offense have been the obvious problems
The Pittsburgh Steelers came into the 2025 season with a whole set of problems with the team’s offense that were obvious to just about anyone.
They have a 41-year-old starting quarterback, in Aaron Rodgers who was not particularly good in his last two healthy seasons, and was injured for all of one of the last three.
Rodgers has actually played better this season in Pittsburgh than his 2024 season with the New York Jets and 2022 season with the Green Bay Packers, but anyone hoping for a return to MVP form was always fooling themselves. This is about the best version of of Rodgers anyone could have expected to get, and the fact that he’s missed three halves of football over 12 weeks should not be particularly surprising, either, nor should the fact that the Steelers lost the first full game he missed.
