"Grandpa is washed" "Channeling his inner Favre": NFL fans react to Aaron Rodgers throwing INT vs. Seahawks

Aaron Rodgers’ arm delivered both history and a mistake on Sunday. A milestone touchdown was overshadowed by an ill-timed interception during the Steelers’ Week 2 clash with the Seattle Seahawks.

With 4:17 left in the third quarter and Pittsburgh driving, Rodgers fired toward the left sideline but was picked off by cornerback Derion Kendrick. The turnover halted momentum after the Steelers cut into Seattle’s lead.

Rodgers sparked the possession with a 65-yard catch-and-run to Jaylen Warren and a short gain by Kenneth Gainwell before the drive stalled. The Seahawks' defense, led by Kendrick’s takeaway, kept Pittsburgh from drawing even.

The interception came on a night of mixed results for Aaron Rodgers. In the second quarter, he connected with DK Metcalf on a 2-yard touchdown to notch his 508th career scoring pass, tying Favre for fourth all-time.

Rodgers followed it up with a successful two-point conversion to Darnell Washington, briefly pulling Pittsburgh within striking distance. Seattle answered with Sam Darnold’s 7-yard touchdown to tight end AJ Barner.

The back-and-forth continued throughout the middle quarters. Seattle leaned heavily on Kenneth Walker III, who ripped off a 20-yard burst in the third period.

Meanwhile, Cooper Kupp kept the chains moving with a string of catches across the middle. Pittsburgh’s defense earlier produced a highlight when Nick Herbig intercepted Darnold in the second quarter and returned it deep into Seahawks territory. It set up Rodgers’ milestone toss.

The Steelers lost 31-17.
