The only question now is: What movie did they watch?
"BREAKING: Aaron Rodgers Left Stunned at Steelers’ ‘Team’ Movie Night
Posted November 7, 2025
Pittsburgh Steelers defensive tackle Cam Heyward had quarterback Aaron Rodgers scratching his head during an off-the-field meetup.
Pittsburgh Steelers defensive tackle Cam Heyward will set a personal milestone, while quarterback
According to ESPN, Heyward will play in his 220th game to tie Hall of Fame center Mike Webster for second most in team history, trailing only Steelers icon Ben Roethlisberger. Meanwhile, if Pittsburgh wins, Rodgers will notch his 22nd win in Sunday games and break his tie with NFL legend Tom Brady for the most ever.
It would be a cool moment if both Heyward and Rodgers set individual feats versus the Chargers. They have developed a strong bond ever since the four-time MVP signed with the Steelers in the offseason, including hanging out off the field.
One activity organized by the 36-year-old Heyward, however, had the 41-year-old Rodgers confused.
“Cam invited me to a movie night a while back and said it was a big team function. I showed up, and I was the only player there. On a Tuesday night too, which is like, we've got an early Wednesday morning, the quarterbacks, with our meeting with Mike (Tomlin),” said Rodgers, as quoted by Steelers reporter Brenadan Howe.
“So I was like, ‘Fine, I love team-bonding, chemistry stuff.' I show up, I see him and his son. I'm looking around, I go, ‘Where's everybody at?'”
Heyward, who's always down for a cold one, explained that what happened was just an unfortunate coincidence, stressing that a number of his teammates usually show up for his movie nights.
“I invited everybody. It was just (that) he (was the only one who) showed up. He didn't show up for the next one, but other players did. I find movies throughout the year that guys wanna see, and they come when they can,” said Heyward.
“It kinda threw him for a loop.”
Safe to assume, it wasn't a big deal for Rodgers, who has helped the Steelers to a 5-3 record ahead of battling the Chargers.
Broncos Announce Trio of Roster Moves Ahead of Raiders Tilt
After holding some workouts on Wednesday, the Denver Broncos have ultimately decided to fill their hole on the 53-man roster with practice squad wide receiver Michael Bandy, the team announced on Thursday ahead of its primetime tilt vs. the Las Vegas Raiders.
Additionally, the Broncos elevated tight end Marcedes Lewis and cornerback Reese Taylor from the practice squad. Bandy was a promotion, meaning he'll stay on the 53-man roster after Thursday night, whereas, Lewis and Taylor are elevations, so they'll be placed back on the practice squad on Friday.
Bandy was called into action last week to fill in for the concussed Marvin Mims Jr. as the Broncos' punt returner. It was a solid showing, until Bandy muffed a punt, which the Houston Texans recovered. It basically cost the Broncos three points.
But the team obviously has plans for Bandy. He's a savvy slot receiver, which he showcased last week in Houston with his 16-yard reception that moved the chains for the Broncos.
Bandy's Path to Denver
Joining the Broncos in 2023, Bandy has stuck around Denver as a pet project of sorts for Sean Payton. The 5-foot-10, 190-pound receiver plays with a high football IQ and great route-running. His hands are reliable, too — his muffed punt in Houston notwithstanding.
Going undrafted out of San Diego in 2020, Bandy tried his hand in the short-lived Spring League (TSL), as well as the XFL with the Houston Roughnecks. The 27-year-old wideout spent a couple of seasons with the Los Angeles Chargers in 2021 and 2022 before joining the Broncos. He's appeared in two regular-season games as a Bronco.
Lewis & Taylor's Role
As for Lewis and Taylor, the former joined the Broncos last week to help pick up the blocking slack in the wake of Nate Adkins' injury, while the latter has been with the team since 2023. Lewis is 41 years old and is in his 20th NFL season.
In the few snaps he garnered last week after being with the team only three or four days, Lewis made his presence felt. With a little more time to soak in Payton's system and assimilate, Lewis could be in for a bigger bite at the apple vs. the Raiders.
Taylor helps the Broncos' cornerback depth as they play their second straight game with Patrick Surtain II. The secondary did a good job of covering for Surtain last week, but with Riley Moss a little dinged up (he'll start, so don't worry), the Broncos are hedging somewhat by making sure they have one additional cornerback available on gameday.
