“It’s hard to say whether the Steelers would have won Sunday’s game in Chicago with Aaron Rodgers under center. On the one hand, Mason Rudolph was picked on his first throw, lost a critical fumble in the second half and couldn’t tie or win the game with the ball in his hands. On the other hand, Rudolph wasn’t terrible, either, leading a few quality drives, and Rodgers’ play had dipped before he suffered the left wrist injury. It felt like Rodgers was close to playing against the Bears, which could mean the 41-year-old will face the Bills this Sunday in what could be a critical game for both teams’ playoffs chances. A loss in that one would be Pittsburgh’s fifth in seven games. All three units showed room for improvement at Chicago, so the Steelers will have to tighten up the entire operation quickly, no matter who is at QB.” - Eric Edholm
