Aaron Rodgers Shrugs Off Broken Wrist After a Horrible Loss to the Bills in Week 13

Aaron Rodgers gutted his way back onto the Acrisure Stadium field on Sunday with a fractured left wrist, a bandaged nose, and the weight of a struggling Pittsburgh offense on his shoulders, which ranks 28th in the league. The result was one of the worst performances of his legendary career and a 26-7 beatdown by the Buffalo Bills that dropped the Steelers to 6-6 for the season.

Aaron Rodgers Gave a Blunt Self-Assessment on His Recent Performance

Unable to take a single snap under center because of the wrist injury suffered two weeks earlier against Cincinnati, the 41-year-old Rodgers and the Steelers were forced to operate exclusively out of shotgun and pistol formations. The limitations was glaring as Pittsburgh managed just 166 total yards- the third fewest in Mike Tomlin’s 19-year coaching career- and the four time MVP completed only 10 of 21 passes for 117 yards and no TDs.

The decisive blow came on the first play of the second half when Joey Bosa strip-sacked Rodgers, and Christian Benford returned the fumble 17 yards for a TD that flipped a 7-3 deficit into a 10-7 hole the Steelers never escaped from. Rodgers briefly left the game with a bloody nose after the hit but returned with gauze stuffed up the nostrils and blood streaking his face.

After the game, Rodgers refused to blame the wrist. “We just didn’t have enough positive plays,” he said. “I felt good enough to be out there, just not ready to take a snap, and hopefully next week. Disappointed in my performance. Disappointed in the offensive performance. We’ve got to flush this one.”

Rodgers-Steelers Experiment is Starting to Falter

As boos rained down and some fans chanted for Tomlin’s job, Rodgers shrugged.

“That’s part of it ,” he said. “They pay money for a ticker… I totally understand the frustration. That was a boo-worthy performance.”

The Steelers have now lost two-games in a row and are 2-5 in their last seven games. While they are fighting back-and-forth for the top seed at AFC North against the Ravens, their playoff hopes are starting to falter with each game. And Aaron Rodgers experiment is slowly starting to fail.

With Pittsburgh now 28th in total offense and loser of five of their last seven, the question to be asked is, should the future Hall of Famer have even been out there in the first place?

I cover the National Football League and things cannot get better than that. I always dreamed to play football or basketball professionally since I’m built like a Running Back. But now that I can’t, since I’m technically in the “Unc” age, I thought why not pick a career in sports industry? So here I am, doing what I love, and hoping that the Commanders win the Super Bowl. I give love to players when it’s due, but can be critical about their performances at the same time. Enough about me, now let my articles do all the talking.
