Aaron Rodgers has very different approach to the tush push than Jalen Hurts image

The Pittsburgh Steelers pulled off a successful tush push during the Week 4 win over the Minnesota Vikings, but it looked very different than the Philadelphia Eagles' version.

For the Eagles, Jalen Hurts gets the rock every time Philly calls the infamous play. However, when the Steelers dialed up the play on Sunday, Aaron Rodgers was just standing there and allowed his teammates to take care of the rest.

Not only did Rodgers stand there like a guy at a urinal while the play was happening, he also made sure to signal a first down once Pittsburgh got it.

Listen, we're not going to sit here and criticize Rodgers for the approach.

After all, the man is 41 years old and is well past the point in his career where he can afford to be getting down and dirty like that.

It's far easier for Hurts to get his hands dirty, as he's 14 years younger and notoriously strong.

That wasn't the only funny thing Rodgers did on Sunday. The future Hall of Famer was also seen ripping a smelling salt before his touchdown pass to DK Metcalf.

All in all, it looks like Rodgers is really enjoying his time with the Steelers, which is a far cry from how he looked during his only full season with the New York Jets in 2024.
