Cameras caught Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers sniffing a substance before throwing a beautiful touchdown strike to DK Metcalf in Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings.

Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers squeaked out a nailbiter of a 24-21 victory over the Vikings on Sunday in the first-ever

NFL game in Dublin. Rodgers went 18-of-22 for 200 yards and a touchdown, helping Pittsburgh improve to 3-1 on the year.

Rodgers’ 80-yard touchdown to Metcalf in the second quarter put Pittsburgh up 14-3, and they stayed in control from there. The trick to an explosive play like that against a

Brian Flores-coached defense?

Apparently, smelling salts!

Seattle Seahawks kicker

Jason Myers was seen sniffing the smelling salts before his game-winning kick against the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday night. Clearly, it works for some of these players!

Through his first four games as a Steeler, the four-time league MVP boasts a 68.5 completion percentage for 786 yards, eight touchdowns and three interceptions. The Steelers.

Pittsburgh will get to enjoy a first-round bye before hosting the AFC North rival Cleveland Browns in Week 6.
