The Pittsburgh Steelers earned a second straight victory on Monday night.
Aaron Rodgers finished the night with just four incomplete passes in the 28-15 victory, which also mathematically eliminated the Miami Dolphins from playoff contention.
The game also marked a reunion of sorts for Rodgers.
Zach Wilson, the second pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, spent one season behind Rodgers on the New York Jets’ roster. Wilson was traded to the Denver Broncos in 2024 before agreeing to a one-year deal with the Dolphins in the offseason.

Wilson and Rodgers briefly reconnected after Monday night’s game. During the moment, Wilson offered his best wishes to the Super Bowl winner on his recent marriage to an as-yet-unknown bride.
“Congratulations on getting married,” Wilson told Rodgers on the field at the Steelers’ home stadium. In June, Rodgers revealed that he had been married for “a couple of months.”

Since the shocking announcement, Rodgers’ wife has not appeared in the public spotlight. Before this year’s union came to light, Rodgers was engaged to actress Shailene Woodley.

Wilson’s stint as the Jets’ backup quarterback in 2023 was short-lived. Rodgers suffered a season-ending injury on just the fourth play of his regular-season debut with the Jets. Wilson returned to the starting job, a position he held during his first two tumultuous seasons with the team.
Wilson ultimately appeared in 12 games in 2023, and the Jets finished that season with a 7-10 record.

The Cincinnati Bengals will try to end a two-game losing streak when they visit the Dolphins on Sunday. Cincinnati is expected to face rookie Quinn Ewers, not Wilson, after the Dolphins benched veteran quarterback Tua Tagovailoa on Wednesday.
