Troy Aikman Loved Aaron Rodgers’s Laissez-Faire Attitude As Steelers Tush Push Without Him

Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers had a quiet first half against the Dolphins in Week 15, but still managed to take a 7-3 lead into halftime of their Monday Night Football matchup. After punting on their first three possessions, Rodgers led Pittsburgh on a 12-play, 60 yard drive in the final minutes of the second quarter.

The drive featured not one, but two Tush Pushes by the Steelers with fullback/tight end Connor Heyward lining up under center twice to convert twice—first on fourth-and-one from the 15, and then again on third-and-goal from the one. On the first play he got a first down on the second he scored the game's first touchdown.
