Tom Brady says no one is stopping Aaron Rodgers, Steelers in the AFC North
· Yahoo Sports
The Pittsburgh Steelers enter their bye week with a 6-2 record sitting alone at the top of the AFC North. Their run game has been a large focal point, as they lead the NFL in EPA per rush since Week 3, and Jaylen Warren currently sits third in the league in scrimmage yards.
The defense has been terrific, as well. Over Pittsburgh’s four-game win streak, their defense ranks third in the league in defensive success rate while allowing just 14.2 points per game.

However, Tom Brady says that Aaron Rodgers also deserves a good amount of credit for the way that he’s played this season.
“Aaron’s always been a very aggressive passer,” Brady said. “If something was open down the field, he’d cut it loose. I’ve been really impressed with Aaron this year because he was a very mobile quarterback for a long time. He could move in the pocket and buy a bunch of time. He doesn’t quite have that same elusiveness, and he’s really transitioned to becoming more of a pocket passer.“
Brady adds that Rodgers’ control has been impressive, and that he doesn’t see anyone stopping the Steelers in the AFC North.
“He’s always been an incredible passer of the football, but now that he’s playing from the pocket, he’s totally in control. I think he’s got six interceptions this year, and five of them have been off the hands of his receivers or a Hail Mary. He’s making incredible decisions. He has always made great decisions, and that’s why that team’s first place in the AFC North, and I don’t see anyone stopping them in that division, either.”
Pittsburgh will face the Cincinnati Bengals on the road in Week 10 after the Bengals return from Madrid where they’ll face the Atlanta Falcons in Week 9.
