Tomlin Vows to Keep Rodgers' Career Alive in Steelers' Win-or-Go-Home Trip to Ravens

Overview

• Pittsburgh faces a Sunday night elimination game in Week 18 at Baltimore with the division at stake and a loss ending its season.
• Mike Tomlin said he is committed to ensuring the finale is not Aaron Rodgers' last game, lauding the quarterback's experience and leadership.
• Rodgers followed three straight December wins with 220-plus passing yards by posting 168 yards and no touchdown drives in a 13-6 loss to the Browns.
• The Steelers added Rodgers after he left the Jets in the 2025 offseason, and he has completed 65.6% of his passes for 3,028 yards, 23 touchdowns and seven interceptions in 15 games.
• Reports have described friction between John Harbaugh and Lamar Jackson and suggest GM Eric DeCosta could face significant offseason pressure if Baltimore misses the playoffs.
