Out of all of Aaron Rodgers’ receiving options, his first completion went to Pittsburgh Steelers offensive lineman Spencer Anderson against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night. Anderson, who was a tackle eligible on the play, caught a pass from Rodgers in the flat for four yards.

Anderson is the first Steelers offensive lineman to catch a pass since Alejandro Villanueva caught a touchdown from Chris Boswell on a fake field goal against Denver in 2018.

The Steelers have utilized Anderson in the jumbo package (six offensive lineman) since their Week 4 win over the Minnesota Vikings. The package has provided a boost for the Steelers in the run game.
