Aaron Rodgers’ big step toward playing against the Bills
five weeks ago, Pittsburgh Steelers had firm control over AFC North. Now, they don’t even run the division as it grows The Baltimore Ravens took first place. Last week, the Steelers suffered their second loss in three weeks, but this time without a quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
The future KB Hall of Fame broke his non-throwing wrist in a Week 11 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Despite that push to play, Rogers it was held after the Steelers’ Week 12 loss to the Chicago Bears.
As the Steelers prepare to face an equally desperate Buffalo Bills team on Sunday, they got some good news. Rodgers was a full participant at practice on Thursday. So was wide receiver DK Metcalf, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelliser.
Both will be needed if the Steelers are to pull off the upset.
In the game against the Bears, Mason Rudolph started under center. Rudolph completed 24 of 31 passes, but for just 171 yards with one touchdown and one interception. That loss dropped Pittsburgh to 6-5 on the season.
Meanwhile, the Ravens have won five straight after starting the season 1-5. Division opponents share a 6-5 record, but Baltimore currently holds the tiebreaker over the division record. In the end, it can be reduced to two of their encounters.
But as much as Pittsburgh needs this game, so do the Bills.
Buffalo is 7-4, and currently the seventh seed in the AFC. Their hopes of winning the AFC East seem to be slipping away. The New England Patriots hold the best record in the NFL at 10-2, having already beaten the Bills in Buffalo.
