Aaron Rodgers completed 19-of-30 passes for 219 yards and a touchdown in the Steelers’ 16-10, Week 7 win over the Saints. 2026-10-25 13:00:02 Rodgers dinked and dunked for the overwhelming majority of the game with over half of his completions coming to his running backs. He did connect with DK Metcalf for a 51-yard connection on a beautiful deep ball, and he found Darnell Washington for his lone scoring play. Outside of that passing touchdown, the biggest play for Rodgers was a scramble on third-and-six just before the two-minute warning that essentially cemented the game. Rodgers and the Steelers move to 5-2 with the win in Paris, and they’ll face the Browns in Week 8. He’ll be a QB2 for that contest, on paper. |

Aaron Rodgers completed 33-of-49 passes for 253 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in the Steelers’ 26-19, Week 6 overtime win over the Bucs. 2026-10-18 18:00:02 Rodgers and the Steelers couldn’t get anything going through three quarters. They had just three points on the board and Germie Bernard check-downs were their only method of moving the ball. Even that was barely working. Running out of options, Rodgers simply started forcing the ball to DK Metcalf. He targeted Metcalf 12 times in the fourth quarter and overtime. The Steelers scored 16 points in the fourth quarter and another seven in the extra frame. Rodgers now has at least 230 yards and multiple touchdowns in four straight games. The Steelers’ pass-crazed approach under Mike McCarthy has kept him in the QB2 mix so far, and it will do so again when he faces the Saints next week. |

Aaron Rodgers completed 22-of-40 passes for 299 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions in the Steelers’ 27-24, Week 4 loss to the Browns. 2026-10-02 00:00:02 Rodgers was under constant pressure from an unrelenting Cleveland pass rush, taking five sacks while throwing two interceptions in the loss. The offense struggled to maintain consistent efficiency as the Steelers fell into a 21-7 hole in the second quarter, eventually requiring more Rodgers fourth quarter heroics to knot the game at 24 with under two minutes to play. That would be enough time for Deshaun Watson to get the Browns into field goal range for the go-ahead kick with 10 seconds remaining. With just one timeout in hand, the Steelers were forced into downfield aggression on the final play of the game, which resulted in the second of two Rodgers interceptions. The Steelers have now been involved in three one-score games through four weeks, something both Steelers fans and those familiar with head coach Mike McCarthy are all too familiar with - two of those games resulted in wins. Up next for Rodgers and the Steelers are the reeling Colts in Week 5, against whom Rodgers will remain a middling QB2 in fantasy circles. |

ESPN’s Brooke Pryor reports that Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers could play one or two series in the team’s preseason Week 1 game against the Packers. 2026-08-13 19:00:02 Rodgers may not play at all, and reports indicate that he, personally, could go either way on the matter. Steelers coach Mike McCarthy plans to play quarterbacks in three groups. The first two will split first-half reps, while the third plays for the entire second half. Shortly after this report, during pre-game warmups, Pryor said that “all signs are pointing to Rodgers being on the bench tonight.” |

Steelers coach Mike McCarthy will continue utilizing the pre-snap shifts he added to his offensive scheme during his time coaching the Cowboys. 2026-05-21 18:00:03 McCarthy will coach QB Aaron Rodgers for the first time since 2018, which was McCarthy’s final season with the Packers. Rodgers remained in Green Bay until 2022. McCarthy’s pre-snap shift rates fluctuated significantly over his final three seasons with the Packers and generally hovered around the league average during his 2020-24 run with the Cowboys. Rodgers is reportedly looking forward to returning to the updated version of his old scheme and should have little issue adjusting to McCarthy’s offensive wrinkle. The Steelers’ 63.9 percent pre-snap shift rate ranked 21st last year. Agreeing on terminology appears to be the only real issue that the two are working through, which Rodgers says he will be “stubborn about,” but is a natural part of the growing process. |
