There's one positive takeaway from the Pittsburgh Steelers embarrassing loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 13 — and it has everything to do with 21-year veteran QB Aaron Rodgers.
Following a 10-yard completion to WR DK Metcalf in the fourth quarter, Rodgers became just the fifth player in NFL history to surpass 65,000 passing yards — an exclusive club featuring Brett Favre, Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, and Tom Brady.
After missing one game with a left wrist fracture, Rodgers returned in Week 13 against the Bills, throwing for 117 yards and zero touchdowns, but eclipsing the 65,000 mark made the otherwise disappointing performance easier to stomach.
