Aaron Rodgers has made a career out of protecting the ball, so the best bet might be to rely on his pass catchers to create more yards after the catch. I'd also like to see the Steelers try to attack this aggressive New England front with play-action.

Positive signalMatchup

Rodgers' ball protection and play-action success offer path vs. Patriots.

The source suggests the Steelers will have to take their chances with the New England secondary rather than rely on the ground game against the Patriots' tough front. Rodgers' career-long ability to protect the ball is highlighted as an asset, with the source noting 'the best bet might be to rely on his pass catchers to create more yards after the catch.' The source also recommends the Steelers attack the aggressive New England front with play-action, a strategy Rodgers has executed effectively (Steelers went 6-for-8 on play-action for 65 yards last week).
