Tom Brady 'Beyond Impressed' by Aaron Rodgers' Efficient Steelers Start

The 41-year-old has lifted Pittsburgh with a quick, low-risk passing plan.

Overview

  • Rodgers has led the Steelers to 3-1 with 786 yards, eight touchdowns and roughly a 102.5 passer rating through four games.
  • He owns the NFL’s lowest intended air yards at 4.8 and the lowest air yards to the sticks at minus-4.7, according to Next Gen Stats.
  • The quick-game approach has limited hits, with averages of 2.3 sacks and eight pressures per game, per Pro Football Focus.
  • Brady delivered his praise on FOX NFL Sunday, calling Rodgers a “surgical passer” with a “killer instinct.”
  • After a Week 5 bye, Pittsburgh faces the Browns, the Bengals on a short week, and the Packers in a stretch that will test whether this start endures following last season’s 3-1 fade.
