After the Pittsburgh Steelers clinched the AFC North, NFL Films cameras caught Aaron Rodgers and Mike Tomlin thanking one another for the quarterback joining the Steelers in his 21st season.

It is clear that Rodgers has enjoyed his time in Pittsburgh — after making the playoffs himself for the first time in four years, how could he not?

Rodgers was asked what he likes about the Steelers organization, and he took a not-so-subtle shot at his last team, the New York Jets.

"One thing I really love, and it’s kind of the antithesis of where I was — there’s not really any leaks in the boat," Rodgers told reporters this week. "Every year, you have difficulties and adversity, both on the field and off, and to go through a season like this and be able to focus on football and not have a lot of other little bulls--- out there has been really nice."

During his time with the Jets, Rodgers was adamant that media leaks were a "problem with the organization."

"There's no place in a winning culture (for this)," Rodgers said on a December 2023 edition of "The Pat McAfee Show."
