Rodgers Lauds Steelers’ “No Leaks” Culture, Takes Fresh Swipe at Jets Before Wild-Card

He credits Pittsburgh’s stability with a calmer year entering the playoffs at age 42.

Overview

  • Aaron Rodgers told reporters the Steelers have “not really any leaks in the boat,” a pointed contrast to his criticism of the Jets’ leak-prone environment.
  • In his first season with Pittsburgh, Rodgers went 10-6 in his starts with 3,322 passing yards, 24 touchdowns and seven interceptions, helping the Steelers win the AFC North and reach the postseason.
  • Rodgers has limited off-platform media this year and emphasized focusing on football, a shift from his more frequent appearances during his Jets tenure.
  • He has described his Jets exit as a brief, 15-minute meeting in Florham Park where coach Aaron Glenn informed him the team would move in a different direction at quarterback.
  • Rodgers beat the Jets in Week 1 with 244 yards and four touchdowns in a 34-32 win, and Pittsburgh now hosts the Texans in the wild-card round.
