Rodgers, who terrorized the Bears for years while wearing the green and gold, would be back in Soldier Field for likely the final time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">But earlier today, in the Steelers\u2019 34 to 12 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, Rodgers suffered what is reported to be a broken left wrist, and ESPN\u2019s Adam Schefter says it is \u201cshaping up\u201d to be Mason Rudolph starting at quarterback for the Steelers. Rodgers will have his wrist looked at on Monday to determine the extent of the injury.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Rudolph played well in relief of Rodgers by completing 12 of 16 for 127 yards, one touchdown, and a passer rating of 118.5, and he has 18 starts in his career.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The line opened at Bears -2.5 per our partners at <a href=\"https:\/\/sportsbook.fanduel.com\/navigation\/nfl\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">FanDuel Sportsbook<\/a>, but has since moved to Chicago -3 with the news about Rodgers. The game\u2019s over\/under point total is currently 44.5.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The (6-4) Steelers are in first place in the AFC North, just ahead of the (5-5) Baltimore Ravens, and with or without Rodgers, Pittsburgh head coach Mike Tomlin will have his team ready for Week 12. Pittsburgh\u2019s top-five defense will be focused on stopping Chicago\u2019s big-play offense.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The (7-3) Bears, at the very least, will be tied with the Detroit Lions atop the NFC North, but a Lions loss in Philly on Sunday Night Football and Chicago could be alone in first.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">What are your thoughts on the opening odds?
