Steelers Now
BALTIMORE –– With Aaron Rodgers’ 1-yard touchdown in the first quarter of Sunday’s game against the Baltimore Ravens, he became the oldest player (42 years old) in franchise history to rush for a touchdown. The previous record was held by 39-year-old Ben Roethlisberger in 2021 against the Tennessee Titans in Week 15.
With that rushing touchdown, Rodgers now has 36 in his career, tying him with former Steelers QB Michael Vick for eighth in NFL history among QBs.
Rodgers led the Steelers on a eight-play, 65-yard touchdown drive on the Steelers’ opening possession of the game. Rodgers connected to DK Metcalf for a 52-yard gain on the first play of the drive.

Rodgers was under center on the 1-yard touchdown run.
To err on the side of caution, Rodgers and the Steelers’ offense operated exclusively out of shotgun or pistol formations during last week’s decisive loss to the Buffalo Bills. Rodgers confirmed the injury is starting to feel better, however.
Rodgers told Tracy Wolfson of CBS before the game the he switched from a hard cast to customer soft brace for more mobility and option to go under center. He said this is the last week he will wear something barring a setback
Rodgers also told Wolfson that this was their best week of practice and a lot had to do with the veteran wide receiver involvement.
Receivers Adam Thielen and Marquez Valdes-Scantling are active, while second-year WR Roman Wilson is inactive.
