Aaron Rodgers just hit his 580th career touchdown pass, including postseason, absolutely passing Peyton Manning for third on the all-time list, and the Steelers are rolling with a 17-13 lead over the Colts at halftime. This dude is still out here making history!
Rodgers Dials Up the Deep Ball
Rodgers isn’t just breaking records; he is slinging it, going 16-of-21 for 166 yards with a insane 130.3 passer rating in that first half. He dropped two touchdown passes, the first an 80-yard bomb to running back Jaylen Warren and then a clutch 1-yard scoring toss to tight end Pat Freiermuth. Warren was a beast, snagging five catches for 81 yards and that touchdown, plus chipping in 13 yards on four carries. The Steelers offense is clicking, outgaining the Colts 206 to 147 total yards.
Colts Scramble to Keep Pace
On the other side, Colts quarterback Daniel Jones went 10-of-15 for 132 yards, trying to keep his team in the fight. Jonathan Taylor had a tough half on the ground with only 13 yards on eight carries. Their tight end, Tyler Warren, punched in a 1-yard touchdown on a gutsy fourth-down call. Josh Downs added two catches for 42 yards, but they are still trailing. Kicker Chris Boswell nailed a 48-yard field goal late in the half to extend the Steelers’ lead, making it a 17-13 game.
The Steelers are up, and Rodgers just dropped an all-time milestone. What a first half! The Colts have their work cut out for them to turn this around.
