Rodgers Plays Through Fractured Wrist as Bills Rout Steelers 26-7

Buffalo's ball-control rushing attack exposed Pittsburgh's broader shortcomings.

Overview

  • Ahead of kickoff, NFL Network reported Rodgers had multiple fractures in his left wrist/hand, yet he started for Pittsburgh.
  • Limited to shotgun and pistol formations, Rodgers went 10-of-21 for 117 yards with little sustained offense.
  • Joey Bosa leveled Rodgers on the first play of the second half, forcing a fumble that Christian Benford returned for a touchdown.
  • Buffalo piled up 249 rushing yards, ran 74 plays to Pittsburgh’s 40, and held the ball for nearly 42 minutes.
  • The loss dropped the Steelers to 6-6 with five defeats in seven games, and team medical staff are monitoring Rodgers’ injury without a stated prognosis.
