Aaron Rodgers linking with Marquez Valdes-Scantling is nothing new. Except the former Green Bay Packers teammates joined an exclusive club Monday. This time in the Pittsburgh Steelers versus Miami Dolphins contest.
Facing second-and-seven, Rodgers lobbed the ball Valdes-Scantling’s way to extend the lead to 14-3.

Rodgers’ TD covered 19 yards and traveled through a night time temperature of 19 degrees. But both joined this fraternity after the score, per ESPN insights.
“Marquez Valdes-Scantling becomes the 2nd player to catch a pass from Aaron Rodgers on both the Packers and Steelers. He joins…Aaron Rodgers himself, who caught three of his own passes with Green Bay and one this season with Pittsburgh,” the account posted on the social media website X, formerly Twitter.
That’s right — Rodgers is no longer alone as a past Packers receiving option who caught a pass with the Steelers.
Rodgers lost one title before the Monday Night Football showdown of aspiring AFC teams. Although a title he welcomed losing.
He’s no longer the oldest player in the NFL — with Phillip Rivers retaking that title Sunday.
“Love that,” Rodgers told reporters when it was revealed Rivers was starting for the Indianapolis Colts.
Rodgers looked efficient in leading the Pittsburgh offense. At one point he completed 22-of-26 passes before the fourth quarter arrived. He also lasered this “unreal” throw to DK Metcalf, who bullied his way into the end zone.

Pittsburgh to keep their lead in a very tight AFC North title race. The rival Baltimore Ravens placed themselves one game behind Pittsburgh by blanking the Cincinnati Bengals Sunday. Steelers tight end Jonnu Smith put the game on ice with his 14-yard touchdown rumble.
