From the episode

Rogers finished 14 of 29 against man coverage. He threw for 217 yards because they had all those chunks late in the game. Sure. But for the most part, they could do absolutely nothing against when the Browns were playing man in this game.
Mentioned at 23:30 – 24:05

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Rodgers' reluctance and age showing; stalled offense until late heroics.

The source criticizes Aaron Rodgers' performance and demeanor in the game; he completed 14 of 29 against man coverage for 217 yards, was unwilling to make throws over the middle, held onto the ball, and looked like he would rather be anywhere else after taking hits. The source notes he made four or five impressive throws late to keep the Steelers in it, but for two quarters the offense stalled. The source also notes he's 40 years old and 'absolutely looks like the oldest player in the NFL,' with poor pocket presence and falling away on throws in muddy pockets.
