Aaron Rodgers Slings Ball in Strong Debut Despite Receiver Drops

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 24 of 40 passes for 221 yards and a touchdown in a 20-13 win over Atlanta. Earning an 80.5 PFF grade with a 10.1-yard average depth of target, Rodgers' stats missed a potential 104 yards and another score due to multiple receiver drops by DK Metcalf and Roman Wilson. Rodgers praised teammates T.J. Watt and Cam Heyward postgame as Pittsburgh started 1-0 under coach Mike McCarthy.
