Steelers could take back command of AFC North with Rodgers returning

The Pittsburgh Steelers ' chances of regaining control of the AFC North increased on Friday.

Two days before a Week 13 AFC showdown with the Buffalo Bills (7-4), Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin discussed quarterback Aaron Rodgers' health. The 21-year veteran missed Week 12's 31-28 loss to the Chicago Bears (8-3) with a wrist injury.

When speaking to reporters, Tomlin shared that Rodgers will start versus Buffalo.

"He was a full participant today with no designation for the game, so it's all systems go," Tomlin told reporters.
