FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Aaron Rodgers doesn’t think the Steelers did nearly enough with the chances they had with the ball against the Patriots.
Fortunately for Pittsburgh, it got lots of help from a New England team that had all kinds of trouble holding onto it.
Rodgers threw a go-ahead 17-yard touchdown pass to Calvin Austin III with 2:16 left, and the Steelers’ defense forced five turnovers in Sunday’s 21-14 win over the Patriots.
“It’s what we’re supposed to do,” Rodgers said of the nine-play, 62-yard fourth-quarter drive that produced the winning score. “We’ve got to make those plays so we’re not in those positions.”
Rodgers now has 510 TD passes, alone in fourth place in NFL history. His 509th — a second-quarter TD pass to Metcalf — moved him out of a tie with former Green Bay teamma
