Less than a month ago, everyone seemed to be counting Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers out. And it wasn\u2019t without good reason. After a brutal loss to the Buffalo Bills, both sides of the ball were looking bleak. The Steelers seemed to be destined for another second-half collapse as they lost their lead in the AFC North.<\/p>\n
But over the past three weeks, the script has completely flipped. The Steelers are now winners of three straight, including close victories over Baltimore and Detroit. To Steelers insider Mark Kaboly, it\u2019s the biggest change of momentum he\u2019s seen from a team in quite some time.<\/p>\n
\u201cA 180, this late in the season. I\u2019ve never seen a team like this, a Steelers team do a 180 like this,\u201d Kaboly said Friday on 93.7 The Fan<\/a>. \u201cI wrote \u2019em off after the Buffalo game. I\u2019m like, done, this is the worst team I\u2019ve ever seen.\u201d<\/p>\n The wins have been impressive, partly because they\u2019re coming in the way the Steelers hoped they would when building this roster. Aaron Rodgers is playing well<\/a>, and the run game has been much more consistent in recent weeks. Defensively, it\u2019s taking quite a bit of shuffling, but the Steelers are finding a method that works. That includes a couple mid-season additions like Kyle Duggar and Asante Samuel Jr.<\/p>\n But to Kaboly, Aaron Rodgers has been the biggest reason for the quick turnaround.<\/p>\n \u201cI think a lot has to do with the quarterback\u2026 Just the way he carries himself, the way he interacts, the way he leads. That\u2019s something I don\u2019t think we\u2019ve ever seen here. He doesn\u2019t lead like Ben used to lead. It\u2019s just a different mentality that he goes by here. And it\u2019s worked,\u201d Kaboly said.<\/p>\n
