Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers (1-0) take the gridiron at Acrisure Stadium Sunday against Sam Darnold and the Seattle Seahawks (0-1).
Darnold’s first game as QB1 in Seattle was inauspicious at best as the Seahawks’ offense managed just 230 total yards and 13 points in a 17-13 loss to the 49ers. Signed in the offseason after a successful season in Minnesota, Darnold threw for just 150 yards and found the endzone as often as he turned it over...one time.
Aaron Rodgers fared far better in his debut with the Steelers. The veteran threw for 244 yards including four touchdowns in Pittsburgh’s 34-32 win against his former team, the New York Jets. Seven different receivers caught at least one of Rodgers’ passes in the victory.
Lets take a deeper dive into this week’s matchup between the Seahawks and the Steelers and possibly find a sweat or two.

Drew Dinsick (@whale_capper): Game Total UNDER 40.5 (-108)
Two Top 10 defenses square off in Pittsburgh with pass rushes and a lack of explosive plays likely to carry the day. The surprise points explosion from PIT in Week 1 looks more mirage than real so the under at any number above 40 is a fair look.
Trysta Krick (@Trysta_Krick): Seahawks +3 (-110)
No quarterback dislikes a collapsing pocket more than Aaron Rodgers at this stage of his career. And if there’s one thing Seattle has shown early, it’s that their defense can bring real pressure. Just ask Brock Purdy — he was hit eight times last week — and if the Seahawks generate that kind of heat against Pittsburgh, it’s going to be a long day for the Steelers.
Seattle also made life hell for Christian McCaffrey, holding one of the league’s best running backs to abysmal yards per carry. If they can do that to McCaffrey, it doesn’t bode well for Jaylen Warren or Kenny Gainwell.
Don’t get fooled by Pittsburgh’s point total last week either. That was built on flukey short fields more than sustained offense. Against a Seattle front that creates chaos, those breaks are much harder to come by.
That’s why I love Seattle here as an underdog. The defense travels, the matchup tilts their way, and I’ll take them to cover — and maybe win outright — in what should be an ugly, grind-it-out game.
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports): Aaron Rodgers Under 224.5 Passing Yards (-110)
One of the most surprising and unsurprising results of Week 1 was Aaron Rodgers getting revenge on the Jets and throwing four touchdowns in the process. The 41-year-old and former Packer and Jet, went 22-of-30 for 244 yards in the 35-32 win. While this turns into a DK Metcalf revenge game hosting Seattle, and the home debut of both Rodgers and Metcalf, I don’t expect nearly as much success through the air. Brock Purdy threw for 277 yards on 26-of-35 and was injured with turf toe after playing Seattle last week. I doubt Rodgers throws enough to hit the Over and his ADOT drops off after four sacks and with the expected pressure and physicality of the new and improved Seahawks defense.
