Special mic'd up Aaron Rodgers video shows how Steelers QB set up incredible Kenneth Gainwell TD image

Aaron Rodgers' mind is as good as his arm.

The Pittsburgh Steelers' QB proved that in a special moment during Sunday's win over the Detroit Lions.

The video was captured in special mic'd up footage released by the NFL on Tuesday, and it came from right before Rodgers' touchdown pass to Kenneth Gainwell.

Gainwell was in the backfield next to Rodgers.

Rodgers told his running back to motion all the way out wide and then run a go route.

That's what Gainwell did, and Rodgers found him.

It wasn't quite the straightforward, because Gainwell was interfered with, fell, still caught the ball, then got up and ran to score.

But it's still quite the awesome sequence to watch:

Rodgers turned 42 earlier this month, and the end of his career might be coming soon.

But as long as his mind can come up with brilliant plans, and as long as his arm can still execute, he could keep playing quarterback in the NFL.
