We’re talking about a wealth of experience, talent, and production, and I think it’d be foolish for me not to tap right into that. So that has been the focus since we started this.”The 2025 season was a solid one for Rodgers, who threw 24 touchdowns and seven interceptions, which was only one TD fewer and a staggering seven interceptions less than Super Bowl-winning Sam Darnold.Despite being the oldest player in the league, Rodgers is still performing at a good level, which will provide Steelers fans with a lot of confidence going into the season.There is a clear feeling that everyone in Pittsburgh is on the same page heading into Rodgers’ last dance, with the offence seemingly adjusted to his liking.Read more:‘Wow, that’s incredible’ – NFL fans are in awe of Patrick Mahomes’ act of class with the ChiefsMatthew McConaughey reveals how making a movie scene ‘special’ can translate to football‘Thought of a loss…’ Fans in awe of Nick Wright’s brutal takedown of Josh Allen and his career
