STACKED’s take
Bernard earned Rodgers' trust with four catches, 35 yards on promising drive.
Bernard, a second-round rookie from Alabama, saw extensive action in place of injured Michael Pittman Jr. and earned Aaron Rodgers' trust and praise. On Pittsburgh's most promising drive of the first half, Rodgers targeted Bernard four times and he delivered with four catches for 35 yards that put the team in scoring range. Though he bobbled a fourth-quarter target that led to an interception, Rodgers expressed confidence: "He created some separation and made some contested catches... I thought I saw some growth. I'm proud of him." Bernard's 6-foot-1 frame gives him a three-inch advantage over No. 3 receiver Roman Wilson, positioning him as a more viable outside target going forward, especially if Pittman or Metcalf are injured.
