Rodgers Struggles as Steelers Fall to Seahawks

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers faced a challenging outing on Sunday, struggling to find his rhythm in a 31-17 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Despite a promising start, Rodgers finished the game with only one touchdown pass and two interceptions, leaving fans and analysts questioning his performance.

Lackluster Stats Highlight Troubles

Rodgers’ statistics were underwhelming. He completed 18 of 33 pass attempts for a total of just 203 yards. The veteran signal-caller’s day was marred by his inability to respond effectively under pressure. According to NextGenStats, Rodgers managed a dismal 3-for-11 passing under duress, accumulating only 36 yards, one interception, and a passer rating of 2.8, while also being sacked three times.

Rattled Under Pressure

The pressure from the Seahawks’ defense clearly affected Rodgers’ decision-making and execution. The once-stalwart quarterback, known for his poise, struggled to maintain control, leading to critical mistakes that ultimately cost the Steelers. NFL podcaster Nate highlighted the stark contrast between Rodgers’ usual performance and what transpired on Sunday, emphasizing the impact of the opposing defense.

As the Steelers look to regroup from this setback, the focus will undoubtedly turn to finding ways to bolster their offensive line and support Rodgers, who needs to regain his form if Pittsburgh hopes to remain competitive in the season ahead.
