NFL Mic'd-Up Captures Aaron Rodgers' "Slower Than a 42-Year-Old" Taunt in Steelers' Win Over Lions

Pittsburgh moved to 9-6 with a two-game AFC North lead after a controversial finish in Detroit.

Overview

  • A league-released mic'd-up clip shows Rodgers needling Lions linebacker Jack Campbell with the line, "You’re slower than a 42-year-old."
  • The exchange followed a third-quarter scramble to the sideline where Rodgers offered a hand to Campbell, who waited for teammate Tyrus Wheat before accepting help.
  • Pittsburgh beat Detroit 29-24 after officials erased a last-play touchdown for offensive pass interference, ending the game once the penalty was enforced.
  • Rodgers completed 27 of 41 passes for 266 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in the road victory.
  • The Steelers hold a two-game division cushion and can clinch the AFC North with a win over the Browns on Dec. 28.
