Aaron Rodgers expected to face Colts without pressure in Week 5

Summary

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is anticipated to have a favorable matchup against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, October 15. ESPN analyst Seth Walder predicts that the Colts' struggling pass rush will not record a single hit on Rodgers. The Colts have the worst pass rush win rate in the league and will be missing veteran edge rusher Arden Key due to injury. Despite challenges this season, including being sacked 13 times in four games, Rodgers has managed to produce strong performances recently, throwing for nearly 300 yards and three touchdowns in consecutive games. The Steelers will look to capitalize on the Colts' defensive weaknesses to provide Rodgers with better protection.
