Rodgers' longest time-to-throw of Steelers tenure shows improved protection, but missed deep shots remain.

Quarterback showed improvement in Week 3 against Cincinnati, posting a 3.19-second average time to throw—the longest of his Steelers career—while maintaining strong pass protection numbers. In two of the Steelers' three games this season, Rodgers has largely played well and done a better job pushing the ball downfield and extending plays than he did in most of 2025. However, Max Iheanachor notes there was still quite a bit of meat left on the bone in the passing game, with at least two explosive plays to wide-open receivers missed from a clean pocket.
