Yahoo Sports NFL on Aaron Rodgers

Rodgers faces weakened Patriots secondary with Davis out; favorable passing matchup.

Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers offense have a favorable matchup opportunity against the Patriots secondary in Week 2, as the loss of starting CB Carlton Davis III (neck injury) creates an exploitable weakness. Davis's elite coverage metrics (56.5% catch rate, -1.1% CROE, 2.3 yards separation) will be replaced by Marcus Jones, whose 2025 numbers (68.7% catch rate, +3.7% CROE, 3.3 yards separation) represent a significant downgrade in coverage quality.
