Aaron Rodgers gets terse with reporters as Steelers win after week of noise about team's future

Ben Roethlisberger said on a podcast that Pittsburgh Steelers HC Mike Tomlin "needs a fresh start". Colin Cowherd asks if it’s time for the Steelers and Tomlin to part ways.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was a bit prickly with the media on Sunday after the team’s 27-22 win over the Baltimore Ravens, which put them back into first place in the AFC North.

Rodgers scored his first rushing touchdown since the end of the 2022 season while he was 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 heading into the pivotal matchup.

"Means maybe you guys will shut the hell up for a week," he said.

Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf echoed Rodgers’ strong sentiments.

"We knew not to pay attention to any outside noise," Metcalf said via ESPN. "Coach T is a great leader for us, and he's done nothing but take the bullets for us. Even when we're high and when we're low, he's always come in every day, has been steady and stayed the same, always motivated us to always play our best ball, and that's what he did last week.
