Aaron Rodgers' Real Last Season Is One Worth Watching

On a December afternoon at Ford Field, with the Steelers’ season hanging on every snap, the oldest player in the NFL hustled to the sideline and beat All-Pro Detroit linebacker Jack Campbell to the boundary by a step. Aaron Rodgers, 42, offered the 25-year-old a hand up, got it refused, and chided him on the way back to the huddle: slower than a 42-year-old. Pittsburgh held on 29-24, won its third straight, and seized the AFC North lead. It was the oldest trick in a weather-beaten book, twenty years of reading defenses distilled into knowing where the chalk was before the speedy young defensive star could get there.
