Aaron Rodgers showcases resilience with four-touchdown performance, matching Tom Brady’s record despite back concerns

Aaron Rodgers stirred the pot during his media session on Wednesday. The 41-year-old Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback discussed a nagging injury, yet curiously, he was not listed on the team’s injury report. It quickly became clear that Rodgers was reflecting on his performance from the previous Sunday, where he acknowledged taking a few too many hits. He revealed that his back had been “a little tight,” which he felt impacted his mobility.

“I don’t think I was moving that well,” Rodgers noted. “I think I ran kind of into at least one or two sacks, so I got to do a better job of using my legs. I might be old, but I still feel like I can move around pretty good, and I wasn’t moving the way I usually like to move.”

Injury Report Anomaly

Despite his candid remarks about discomfort, Rodgers did not appear on the Steelers’ injury report as they readied for an upcoming clash against the Seattle Seahawks. Considering his lengthy career in the NFL, it’s not surprising that the seasoned quarterback occasionally experiences back issues. However, it raises eyebrows when he openly discusses such concerns yet appears to be in playing shape according to official reports.

A Stellar Performance Amidst Struggles

While Rodgers did encounter some difficulties navigating the pocket, his performance overall was nothing short of spectacular. He threw four touchdown passes in a thrilling 34-32 victory over his former team, the New York Jets. This marked the 28th time in his career that Rodgers has accomplished the feat of tossing four touchdowns without an interception, tying him with Tom Brady for the most games in NFL history with such a stat.

With his health intact, Rodgers has the opportunity to break this record and stand alone at the top. For now, the key is maintaining his physical condition as he continues to defy age and expectations.
