Aaron Rodgers and Shedeur Sanders had a fascinating exchange after the Cleveland Browns shocked the Pittsburgh Steelers with a 13-6 victory on Sunday.
Today’s game at Huntington Bank Field likely marked the only showdown between Aaron Rodgers and Shedeur Sanders. With a chance to clinch the AFC North for the first time since 2020, the Steelers’ offense imploded in a disappointing loss.
But a heartbreaking defeat didn’t stop Rodgers from sharing a classy and heartwarming post-game interaction with Sanders:

Aaron Rodgers mustered just 168 passing yards on 39 attempts (21 completions), per ESPN. As for Sanders, the rookie completed 17 of 23 pass attempts for 186 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions.
With the Baltimore Ravens defeating the Green Bay Packers on Saturday, the AFC North will now be decided next Sunday. The Steelers will host the Ravens at Acrisure Stadium, with the loser going home.
And if the Steelers lose, it just might mark the end of Rodgers’ Hall of Fame career.
