5. Week 11-Pittsburgh Steelers
The Steelers had moved on from both Russell Wilson and ex-Bear Justin Fields at quarterback this offseason and were begging for Aaron Rodgers to sign with them. Rodgers finally signed with them after weeks of waiting, which is why I moved this game. Seriously, did anyone think Mason Rudolph was going to start for them?
After two frustrating years with the New York Jets, Rodgers will get a new start with the Pittsburgh Steelers, who have not adequately replaced Ben Roethlisberger since his retirement. They are gambling on Rodgers, in what could be his final season in the NFL, to help them make a deep postseason run one more time. They better hope it works because if this fails badly, head coach Mike Tomlin might get fired.
For Bears fans, Rodgers might be declining, but he is the guy who has owned the Bears' numbers his entire career when he was with Green Bay. Let's hope he is healthy enough to play and provide soundbites about how he still owns the Bears, offering plenty of motivation. It would be nice to see him taken down one last time, similar to when Corey Wootton's sack ended Brett Favre's career.
