The Pittsburgh Steelers got back on track with a Week 9 win against the Indianapolis Colts.
Their defense finally had a big day by forcing six turnovers against one of the league’s most explosive offenses.
It was so good that quarterback Aaron Rodgers was able to win a game without having to put up huge numbers, as he passed for just 203 yards and one touchdown with no turnovers.
Former Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger recently compared his stint with Pittsburgh to Rodgers’.
“I still think it’s funny because Aaron got D.K. [Metcalf]. And I got a center that never played center before [in] my last year,” Roethlisberger said.
He was referring to rookie Kendrick Green, who started 15 games at center in 2021, Roethlisberger’s final season in the NFL.
During that season, Roethlisberger was sacked 38 times, which was his most since the 2013 campaign.
While the offensive line overall wasn’t as good during his final season, it would be irresponsible to say it was always that way for Roethlisberger, who also had an incredible group of receivers during his career, including Antonio Brown, Le’Veon Bell, Hines Ward, Heath Miller, Santonio Holmes and many others.
Rodgers and Metcalf have formed a strong bond so far, and the relationship between the QB and the Steelers appears to be going so well that it wouldn’t be shocking if he returns for the 2026 season.
They will try to keep the good times rolling when they visit the Los Angeles Chargers on “Sunday Night Football” in Week 10.
