Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers revealed that he was under the weather prior to the team's 30-6 loss to the Houston Texans in the Wild Card round of the playoffs last season.
The 42-year-old experienced flu-like symptoms including fever and vomiting but insisted that he recovered before kickoff, per Silver.
Pittsburgh recorded a mere 175 yards of total offense and averaged 3.1 yards per play.
2 in the NFL by allowing a mere 17.4 points per game last season, it was still a disappointing performance by the Steelers.
It also marked a tough end to an encouraging overall year for Rodgers, who helped Pittsburgh win the AFC North for the first time since 2020.
