WHY IT MATTERS

Rodgers’ performance demonstrates he can still contribute at a high level, impacting the Steelers’ playoff hopes and solidifying his legacy as one of the league’s all‑time great quarterbacks.

What happened

In a 34‑22 win over the Indianapolis Colts, 42‑year‑old Aaron Rodgers threw three touchdown passes and 235 yards, keeping the Steelers’ offense moving. The game marked Rodgers’ third straight outing with a touchdown pass, adding to 826 yards and nine touchdowns over the stretch. He avoided turnovers for the first time in three games, a key improvement after a recent three‑interception slump. Rodgers’ 80‑yard pass to Jaylen Warren and a 17‑yard touchdown to Pat Freiermuth secured the victory. The win also pushed Rodgers past Peyton Manning for third in career touchdown passes and gave him 166 regular‑season wins, moving him into fifth all‑time. With the Steelers’ schedule featuring tough division matchups ahead, fans will watch whether Rodgers can sustain this level of play.
