Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers believes he and tight end Jimmy Graham are getting on the same page when they connected on a touchdown earlier this week in practice. That certainly looked to be the case against the Pittsburgh Steelers as the two combined once again for an eight-yard score.

Afterward, Rodgers expressed his delight at linking up with his new receiving weapon in an actual game for the first time.

“Jimmy ran a nice route and he's a big target,” Rodgers told reporters after the game, via the Packers' official website. “So, it was fun to get that.”

Graham gives Rodgers a lethal red-zone threat, perhaps the best he’s ever had at his disposal. However, Rodgers went out of his way to emphasize just how dangerous Graham can be regardless of field position.

“Well, he can do it all over the field,” Rodgers said. “I don't think he was used a ton the past couple of years as much in the middle of the field, but he's an incredible athlete. He's got a wide, wide catch radius and there's a lot of things he can do. So, it's exciting to be able to have a guy like that.”

If both Rodgers and Graham remain healthy, their touchdown against the Steelers will likely be the first of many this season. Rodgers hasn’t played with a tight end as talented as Graham before, and chances are the Packers will look to find ways for those two to connect as often as they can and wherever they are on the field.
