Even after 21 seasons of NFL play, Aaron Rodgers’ PhD in play-action rollouts and pinpoint passing remains polished and productive. Pittsburgh utilized it to perfection during one such early-game sequence in which Rodgers turned a well-designed play into a downfield connection with his returning receiver for a 25-yard pickup. The Houston Texans’ revered defense made the plays necessary to deal the Steelers a 30-6 defeat, but throughout Jan. 12, 2026’s opening half, Rodgers kept his offense competitive and on schedule before closing with a 146-yard passing effort.
