Former Philadelphia Eagles running back LeSean McCoy has downplayed the excitement surrounding Pittsburgh quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ recent form. The 42-year-old quarterback recently hit a great form after struggling for a few games when he sustained a fracture to his left wrist.

He led the Steelers to a 28-15 win over the Miami Dolphins on Monday night, throwing for 224 yards and two touchdowns. The veteran quarterback hit an 85.2% pass completion rate, his best since 2014.

While this newfound form has many, including former Eagles linebacker Emmanuel Acho, thoroughly impressed, McCoy may need more convincing. During their appearance on Speakeasy late on Monday night, a heated exchange occurred between the duo, where McCoy stressed his point. First, he asked:

“So, all this experience, is he playing the quarterback position better than Josh Allen? Is he playing the quarterback position better than Drake Maye?”

Acho answered no to both questions before retorting:

“It’s a different season, and you know that.”

When McCoy raised the point about Rodgers’ age, Acho responded that the veteran didn’t look his age as he destroyed the Dolphins defense. McCoy wasn’t having it as he fired back, saying:

“Oh my God! He played the Dolphins. I could come out of retirement right now and go 50 yards. Right now. Yeah, against the Dolphins? And I’m out of shape.”

What Monday’s victory means for Aaron Rodgers

The Steelers’ victory on Monday took Aaron Rodgers a notch closer to his first playoff berth in four years. His last playoff appearance was for the Green Bay Packers in a 13-10 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in the divisional round.

By beating the Dolphins on Monday, the Steelers also maintained a one-game lead over the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC North. They are now the favorites to win the division. The team’s performance seems to be proving Rodgers right for choosing the franchise, according to his post-game interview, where he said:

“If we can take care of business, then we’re going to be hosting a game right here. That’s why I wanted to come back, to be part of something special. It’s a great organization; we’re playing meaningful games. We’re up by a game in the division. A lot left to play for.”

The Steelers’ next game is against the Detroit Lions on Sunday, Dec. 21. The team will be hoping to have Aaron Rodgers healthy for the remainder of the season.
