Aaron Rodgers Is Closing In on a Legendary Steelers Record
The Pittsburgh Steelers started searching for a new answer at quarterback in the 2025 offseason. It quickly became rumored that Aaron Rodgers and Mike Tomlin were forming a friendship, and ultimately, the two joined forces for the 2025 season. The pairing raised eyebrows around the league as Rodgers, now 41 years old, looked to prove he still had plenty left in the tank while Tomlin sought to bring stability and experience to the quarterback position. So far, the results have been promising.
The Steelers sit at 4-2, and Rodgers has been the steadying force behind their early-season success, providing the veteran leadership and poise that Pittsburgh has long been searching for since the Ben Roethlisberger era ended.
Through six games, Rodgers has completed 68.6% of his passes for 1,270 yards and 14 touchdowns while throwing five interceptions. His chemistry with the offense has been evident as he spreads the ball around efficiently and maintains composure under pressure behind an improving offensive line.
Despite his age, Rodgers’ arm strength and accuracy have remained impressive, and his command of the offense has helped unlock a new rhythm for the Steelers. Pittsburgh fans, once skeptical about the short-term nature of the move, are beginning to see why Tomlin was eager to bring the four-time MVP to the Steel City.
NFL reporter Will Graves took to social media to share an eye-catching statistic about Rodgers’ start to the season. He is currently on pace to smash Roethlisberger’s Steelers single-season passing touchdown record. Roethlisberger’s mark has long stood as a symbol of his dominance in Pittsburgh, but Rodgers’ early pace suggests he could rewrite the record books if he continues at this level.
For a franchise steeped in quarterback history, the thought of Rodgers surpassing one of Roethlisberger’s most iconic records is both surreal and exciting. It is still early, but Rodgers’ resurgence has brought new energy to Pittsburgh and perhaps a new chapter in Steelers quarterback history.
Roethlisberger set that record during the 2018 season when he passed for 5,129 yards and threw 34 touchdowns. He also tossed 16 interceptions that year, a reminder of the aggressive, high-risk style that defined much of his career.
There is no guarantee that Rodgers will surpass Roethlisberger’s record, but his early-season performance makes it look like he could do it with ease. For the 41-year-old quarterback, staying healthy and upright remains the biggest concern, but he has already proven he still has the talent and football IQ to lead this team on a playoff run.
Steelers' Defense Is Currently Holding The Team Back In 2025
The bigger worry now is the Steelers’ defense. When news broke that Rodgers was coming to Pittsburgh, many hoped he could simply make the offense average while an elite defense carried the team. Through six games, however, the reality has been the complete opposite. The offense has had to bail out the defense repeatedly to keep the Steelers competitive.
If the defense can get it together, this team has the potential to make a serious run. With Rodgers playing at such a high level, Pittsburgh’s ceiling is much higher than anyone expected. The key will be whether the defense can match the quarterback’s consistency and allow this team to truly contend for the playoffs.

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott Sparks Injury Concerns With Postgame Look

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott suffered a hand injury against the Commanders.
After dismantling the Washington Commanders, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott arrived at his postgame press conference wearing an accessory that quickly drew attention and sparked concerns about a possible injury.
Prescott was nearly flawless in the Cowboys’ blowout victory, completing 21 of 30 passes for 264 yards and three touchdowns. His numbers could have been even bigger, but Dallas hit cruise control in the second half with a hefty lead.
After the game, Prescott appeared at the podium with a bandage on his left hand — a sight that sparked some concern. He quickly downplayed any notion that it would impact him moving forward. Prescott called it a “Britt special,” referencing long-time Cowboys trainer Britt Brown.
“A little Britt special just to take the swelling down,” said Prescott, who played every snap in the 44-22 win. “I usually throw my left hand to cover the ball when I get hit. It usually takes a lot of helmets, so I’m sure it was just a facemask. Nothing unusual, honestly.”
Dak Prescott had his left hand wrapped after the game. He said it’s nothing serious. A little swelling. Thought he might have hit it on another player’s helmet or face mask while protecting the ball. “Nothing unusual.”
Cowboys QB Dak Prescott Bolsters MVP Case
Prescott has firmly inserted himself into the MVP conversation, and his latest outing only strengthened that case. Through seven games, he’s thrown for 1,881 yards, 16 touchdowns, and just three interceptions — elite efficiency from the Cowboys signal-caller, who leads the league in QBR.
More importantly, Dallas snapped back into the win column on Sunday, handling a division rival in convincing fashion. With a healthy CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens helping the offense find its rhythm, Prescott believes the best is yet to come.
“It was great. It was explosive, it was fun. You saw the big plays and the drives we put together. The standard and expectation for us is high,” Prescott said. “I think more of our games are going to look like this.”
The Cowboys moved to 3-3-1 with the win against the Commanders.
Cowboys QB Dak Prescott Praises Pass-Catchers
Prescott said that having both Lamb and Pickens at his disposal makes him confident in just about any pass he throws their way. Lamb had five catches for 110 yards and a touchdown in his first game back after sitting out three games with an ankle injury. Pickens snagged four catches for 82 yards.
“Those are two dudes, and the other guys are well. Wherever the ball goes, I’m confident that when it leaves my hand, a play is going to be made if that guy has a chance,” Prescott said. “When those two guys get it, it can be very explosive.”
Prescott has put together a standout season, but what he’s most proud of is his improved ball security. Even with an emphasis on cutting down interceptions, he’s stayed aggressive and confident pushing the ball downfield.
“Just trying to be smart with it. But not hesitant, scared, or cautious” Prescott said. “I’m taking my chances and have tons of confidence in what I can do and where I can put it.”
Prescott and the Cowboys have a chance to keep the momentum rolling when they head to Denver next week to see the Broncos. Dallas will host the Arizona Cardinals in Week 9 before heading into their bye week.
