The Steelers will integrate computer vision systems and machine learning models into practices to adapt Rodgers' game to their defense. Tools like route tracking with neural networks will allow adjustments to protections and routes in real time.

The team doctors are already warming up the scalpel and duct tape, because keeping Rodgers upright is like restoring a classic car: expensive and with hard-to-find parts.

Or at least a sedan that doesn't stall on the highway.
