Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was a bit stingy with the media on Sunday after the team’s 27-22 victory over the Baltimore Ravens, which put them back in first place in the AFC North.
Rodgers scored his first rushing touchdown since the end of the 2022 season while with the Green Bay Packers. He was 23-of-34 with 284 passing yards. He also had a touchdown pass.

He was asked after the game what the win meant as noise about the Steelers’ playoff chances, and Mike Tomlin’s future clouded the week heading into the crucial matchup.
“That means you guys might shut up for a week,” he said.
Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf echoed Rodgers’ strong sentiments.
“We didn’t know to pay attention to outside noise,” Metcalf said, via ESPN. “Coach T is a great leader for us and he’s done nothing but take the balls for us. Even when we’re up and when we’re down, he’s always come in every day, been steady and stayed the same, always motivated us to always play our best ball, and that’s what he did last week.

“We knew what was at stake – first place in this heated rivalry, and yes, the better team came out on top.”
Metcalf led the team with seven catches for 148 yards. Jaylen Warren had three catches for 49 yards and a touchdown.
Tomlin, whose future with the Steelers has been a hot topic of debate throughout the week, was ecstatic about the win.
“Great team win,” Tomlin said. “I’m just thankful for the effort of the men in that locker room. It’s classic Steelers vs. Ravens.”
