Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo grades each aspect of the Steelers’ 24-21 victory over the Vikings.

Quarterback

Aaron Rodgers was excellent early in the game in staking the Steelers to a big lead. The big plays dried up as the game wore on, but he continued to be efficient and did not make a big mistake. Rodgers finished 18-for-22 for 200 yards and a touchdown. He’s not putting up big numbers, but the Steelers are 3-1 without playing their best football. Rodgers has been really good in situational football in the first four games.

Grade: A-

Running backs

Getting the start for an injured Jaylen Warren, Kenneth Gainwell had 19 carries for 99 yards and scored two touchdowns. He also added six catches for 35 yards. As a runner, Gainwell showed great patience in letting the holes develop.
