Pittsburgh Steelers defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau believes that Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is similar to Hall of Famer Dan Marino.

Rodgers has been out of action for the past six games with a broken collarbone but could be in line to make his return against the Steelers on Sunday.

LeBeau told reporters: "He's like Dan Marino the way he gets rid of the ball. Rodgers is very athletic, but I think probably his overall field acumen, he just knows where everybody is, and he's so quick with the ball it's hard to get him."

The Steelers are 6-8 in their season going into their week 16 clash with the Packers.
