Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers got a little prickly with the media Sunday after the team’s 27-22 win 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 victory meant, as noise about the Steelers’ playoff chances and Mike Tomlin’s future clouded the week before the crucial game.
“That means maybe you’ll shut up for a week,” he said.
Steelers receiver DK Metcalf echoed Rodgers’ strong sentiments.
“We knew not 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 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 this week, was thrilled with the win.
“Great team win,” Tomlin said. “I just appreciate the effort of the guys in this locker room. It’s a classic Steelers vs. Ravens.”
