Aaron Rodgers hasn’t played in a playoff game since he quarterbacked the Packers to a 13-10 loss to the 49ers four years ago. But he’s getting close to a return to the playoffs with the Steelers.
After the Steelers beat the Dolphins on Monday Night Football, they have a one-game lead over the Ravens in the AFC North and are the favorites to win the division. Rodgers said after the game that he’s excited by the prospect of a playoff game in Pittsbuirgh.
“If we can take care of business then we’re going to be hosting a game right here,” Rodgers told Lisa Salters on ESPN. “That’s why I wanted to come back, to be part of something special. It’s a great organization, we’re playing meaningful games. We’re up by a game in the division. A lot left to play for.”
It’s possible that the Steelers could clinch the AFC North before Week 18, but if the Steelers beat the Ravens in Week 18, they win the AFC North regardless of anything that happens in the next two weeks. They’ll be playing meaningful football into January in Pittsburgh.
