The Pittsburgh Steelers earned their second straight win on Monday night.
Aaron Rodgers finished the night with just four incomplete passes in the 28-15 win, which also mathematically eliminated the Miami Dolphins from playoff contention.
The game also served as a reunion of sorts for Rodgers.
Zach Wilson, the No. 2 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, spent one season behind Rodgers on the New York Jets’ depth chart. Wilson was traded to the Denver Broncos in 2024 before reaching a one-year deal with the Dolphins in the offseason.

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

In the time following the shocking announcement, Rodgers’ wife has not entered the public spotlight. Before the marriage came to light this year, 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 in just the fourth game of his regular season debut with the Jets. Wilson was moved back to the starting role, a position he held during his tumultuous first two seasons with the team.
Wilson eventually appeared in 12 games in 2023, and the Jets finished that season with a 7-10 record.

The Cincinnati Bengals will try to end their losing streak when they visit the Dolphins on Sunday. Cincinnati is expected to face rookie Quinn Ewers — not Wilson — after the Dolphins drafted veteran quarterback Tua Tagovailoa on Wednesday.
