Rodgers completes 23 of 27 passes for 224 yards and two touchdowns at frigid Acrisure Stadium, as Pittsburgh wins its 23rd consecutive Monday night home game and ends Miami’s slim playoff hopes, 28-15.
Aaron Rodgers passed for 224 yards and two touchdowns, and the Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Miami Dolphins, 28-15, on Monday night to stay stop the AFC North.
Pittsburgh (8-6) won its second straight game – and 23rd straight at home during the NFL’s Monday night showcase – by overwhelming Miami (6-8) over the final 35 minutes.
Connor Heyward finished off a long drive to end the first half by nudging across the goal line on a tush push to give the Steelers the lead. Rodgers added third-quarter touchdown throws of 19 yards to Marquez Valdes-Scantling and 28 yards to DK Metcalf – who shoved former Pittsburgh safety Minkah Fitzpatrick out of the way en route to the end zone.
Rodgers connected on 23 of 27 passes at frigid Acrisure Stadium. The 42-year-old looked right at home with the lights on and temperatures in the teens during a night that felt like a callback to his prime in Green Bay.
While those days are long gone, Rodgers is playing meaningful football in December, which is all he really wanted when he decided in June to return for a 21st season.
