Aaron Rodgers Ends Four-Year Rushing TD Drought, Puts Steelers Ahead in Baltimore

A 52-yard completion to D.K. Metcalf earlier on the drive ended the Steelers' five-week lull on deep passes.

Overview

  • The rushing score was Rodgers' 36th career rushing touchdown and his first since Week 13 of the 2021 season, according to the broadcast.
  • He kept the ball on a play-action fake from the 1-yard line and outran the Ravens defense to the end zone.
  • The drive that featured the long completion and the keeper produced a lead for Pittsburgh.
  • Pittsburgh has struggled to generate consistent offense in recent weeks, and Rodgers had shown little running impact this season before the score.
  • Rodgers is on a one-year deal with the Steelers and, at the time of reporting, had 19 touchdown passes and seven interceptions.
