LATROBE, Pa. -- The Pittsburgh Steelers offense has struggled in Latrobe, but their quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, is starting to find his groove. On Friday, Rodgers was not helped out by his weapons, with more than a few drops, but the four-time MVP and star wide receiver DK Metcalf have now been on the same wavelength for about two practices.

On Saturday, opportunity once again presented itself, albeit in a much lower-stakes environment: For a light practice without pads, Mike Tomlin gave Aaron Rodgers and many other veterans the day off. The decision gave Rudolph the chance to work extensively with the first-team offense.
