quarterback Aaron Rodgers looking more comfortable extending plays than usual against an Atlanta front down its top two edge rushers. Still, efficiency was an issue, with Rodgers completing just 24 of his 40 attempts. According to Next Gen Stats, Rodgers' 9.2 air yards per target against the Falcons were the most he has recorded during his time in Pittsburgh, with his 2.95-second time to throw being his third-highest average as a Steeler.

Rodgers posts career-high air yards (9.2) in Pittsburgh; extends plays more comfortably.

Rodgers completed 24 of 40 attempts with efficiency issues, though he looked more comfortable extending plays than usual against an Atlanta front down its top two edge rushers. According to Next Gen Stats, his 9.2 air yards per target were the most he has recorded during his time in Pittsburgh, and his 2.95-second time to throw was his third-highest average as a Steeler, suggesting the new offensive scheme is pushing the ball deeper and giving him more time to operate.
