Aaron Rodgers proves to be game-changer Steelers needed him to be


‏Aaron Rodgers proves to be game-changer Steelers needed him to be
‏So, this is why they brought Aaron Rodgers to Pittsburgh.

‏Prayers. Karma. Magic.

‏Rodgers did everything he could with his 42-year-old body and soul to lift the Steelers to victory in the winner-take-all showdown on Sunday night. He threw 47 passes for a season-high 294 yards. He went tit for tat against Lamar Jackson during a classic fourth quarter. On Pittsburgh’s last two-minute drive, Rodgers was brilliant, capping it with a 26-yard touchdown strike to Calvin Austin III.
‏Then Rodgers could do nothing except watch.

‏The game was won – and lost – when Ravens rookie Tyler Loop’s 44-yard field goal try sailed wide right at Acrisure Stadium as time expired.
‏Just like that, on the last play of the NFL’s 18-week regular season, the would-be end of the season for Rodgers has morphed into his first trip to the NFL playoffs in four years.
‏Hold off the questions of whether the living legend will retire or come back next year.

‏Yes, miracles happen.

‏"Chaos. Disbelief. Gratitude," Rodgers said during his postgame news conference when someone asked what he felt as Loop missed what was seemingly a made-to-order kick with the AFC North title at stake. “A lot of emotions."
‏It should be mentioned that Loop’s kick came in the same end zone where a Catholic priest sprinkled Holy Water on the turf before the game.

‏See, in a place where one of the franchise’s most iconic moments is known as “The Immaculate Reception,” Rodgers apparently got a lot of favor
‏I’m not going to ask any questions,” said Cam Heyward, the veteran defensive tackle and Steelers elder statesman. “The good Lord made a good decision, tonight.”

‏The Steelers, who were home underdogs on Sunday, may need some more divine intervention, if you will, in the AFC playoffs. They’ll open at home in the wild-card round next Monday night against the Houston Texans, who just happen to have the NFL’s longest winning streak, rolling with nine consecutive victories.
