Rodgers Plays Through Illness, Credits Texans | Pittsburgh Steelers News

Despite the physical toll, Rodgers delivered a stellar first season with the Steelers, leading them to a 10-win campaign and an AFC North title. Now entering what he calls his final NFL season, Rodgers is focused on building on that success and avoiding another early playoff exit — proving once again why veteran leadership matters most on the field.
