Steelers Edge Lions 29-24 as Aaron Rodgers Dishes Humorous Sideline Trash Talk
The Pittsburgh Steelers secured a 29-24 victory over the Detroit Lions in Detroit on December 21, 2025, improving their season record to 9-6. During the game, 42-year-old quarterback Aaron Rodgers was captured on the Steelers' sideline humorously taunting Lions linebacker Jack Campbell after Campbell tripped near the boundary line. As Campbell was being helped off the turf and waited for teammate Tyrus Wheat before engaging, Rodgers quipped, implying Campbell was slower than a 42-year-old.
Rodgers has delivered consistent performance this season, completing 66.7% of his passes for 2,860 yards, with 23 touchdowns and seven interceptions over 14 games started (missing one due to injury). In the game against the Lions, he completed 27 of 41 passes for 266 yards and one touchdown.
The Steelers are positioned to clinch the AFC North with a win over the Cleveland Browns for the first time since 2020. Meanwhile, receiver DK Metcalf was suspended for two games after an incident involving a fan.
