The Pittsburgh Steelers picked up their second straight victory Monday night.
Aaron Rodgers finished the night with just four incomplete passes in the 28-15 victory, which also mathematically eliminated the Miami Dolphins from the playoffs.
The game also marked a reunion of sorts for Rodgers.
Zach Wilson, the No. 2 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, spent a season behind Rodgers on the New York Jets depth chart. Wilson was traded to the Denver Broncos in 2024 before signing a one-year deal with the Dolphins in the offseason.

Wilson and Rodgers briefly reconnected after Monday night’s game. At that point, Wilson offered his best wishes to the Super Bowl winner on his recent marriage to an as-yet-unnamed bride.
“Congratulations on your marriage,” Wilson told Rodgers on the field at Steelers stadium. In June, Rodgers revealed he had been married for “a few months.”

Since this shocking announcement, Rodgers’ wife has not appeared in the public spotlight. Before this year’s union surfaced, Rodgers was engaged to actress Shailene Woodley.

Wilson’s stint as the Jets’ backup quarterback in 2023 was short-lived. Rodgers suffered a season-ending injury in just the fourth game of his regular season debut with the Jets. Wilson was moved back into the starting role, a position he held during his tumultuous first two seasons with the team.
Wilson ultimately appeared in 12 games in 2023, and the Jets finished that season with a 7-10 record.

The Cincinnati Bengals will look to end a two-game losing streak when they visit the Dolphins on Sunday. Cincinnati is expected to play rookie Quinn Ewers — not Wilson — after the Dolphins benched veteran quarterback Tua Tagovailoa on Wednesday.
