Jon Gruden Says Rodgers' Steelers Offense Must Wake Up

That's the other half of the pitch. What worked for Rodgers in Green Bay isn't working in Pittsburgh, and the Greaseboard segment frames it as a supporting-cast problem. Keep in mind it's a Chevy-sponsored spot, so it's a TV breakdown, not a scouting report. But the numbers back up the vibe. Rodgers has thrown 1 touchdown in 8 quarters, and afterward he admitted it's often been 10 guys doing it right and 1 guy blowing it.

The matchup makes it worse. Gruden is high on what Cincinnati did in free agency, and he said the new additions have flipped a defense that was bad last season. The Bengals held Houston to 6 points last week, and now they get a line that couldn't keep Rodgers upright in Foxborough.

The Barstool gambling guys are split, and 1 of them is not split at all. On Barstool Sports Advisors, Big Cat went with the under 42.5 and didn't hedge on why.

On the same episode, another voice on the panel took Pittsburgh plus the points, basically out of stubbornness. They admitted they had no idea how the Steelers win and then went all the way the other direction on the old man.

“This is a monster game for Aaron Rodgers. I think Aaron Rodgers explodes in this game.”

So that's where Sunday sits. The Bengals are going for their 3-0 start, and Pittsburgh is trying to avoid a second straight loss. Rodgers has an offensive line that's still being put together on the fly. Gruden isn't calling Rodgers washed. He's saying the offense has a few weeks to prove the 42-year-old was the right bet. If it goes like New England did, the 4-QB roster stops being a punchline.
