Yahoo Sports NFL on Aaron Rodgers

Rodgers can attack Bucs' blitz-heavy defense with quick passing game.

Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers' offense should not feel pressured by Tampa Bay's blitz-heavy defense. The Buccaneers blitz 41.3% of the time (third most in the league) but have just six sacks (28th), 55 pressures (T-26th), and a 30.7% pressure rate (29th) this season. Despite creating pressure quickly (2.45 seconds average), opposing quarterbacks average just 2.59 seconds to throw against Tampa Bay, the quickest mark in the NFL, indicating that quick passing attacks are effective against the Bucs' blitz-happy scheme.
