Aaron Rodgers is playing his 22nd season in the NFL, but after Sunday's game with the Pittsburgh Steelers against the Indianapolis Colts, it's fair to say that he's not playing like an older, less productive quarterback.

The Steelers pulled off a statement win over the Colts, 34-22, and Rodgers was performing at his best. He's hot again, and that's a good thing for Pittsburgh.
ESPN fantasy football and NFL draft analyst Field Yates has pointed out that after Sunday's game, Rodgers "has thrown 3+ passing TDs in 3 straight games for the first time since December of 2021." Yates adds that "he's dialed in."
Aaron Rodgers continues to make NFL history
Rodgers notched 22 of 31 passes for 235 yards during the game and three scores, according to ESPN.
Rodgers also tied Ben Roethlisberger for an NFL record with his ninth touchdown pass of at least 80 yards.
"I feel like I kind of earned it a bit," Rodgers said of that honor, according to ESPN. "Maybe not 80 yards and a touchdown, but yeah."
Also, Rodgers now has 580 touchdowns for his career, with the added three, which is third on the all-time touchdown list. He also notched his 166th win, making him fifth all-time on the quarterback wins tally. If Rodgers wants to go out on top, he's sure making moves this season to do just that. Of course, it's just one game, but it shows that Rodgers is still absolutely able to compete in top form.
It was really a win-win situation for Rodgers and the Steelers. It's just the kind of win this franchise needed after falling to the Cleveland Browns in Week 4, and it sets them up for a strong matchup against Tampa Bay.
