The Pittsburgh Steelers are trying to break a near-decade streak of playoff futility in 2025. The last time they won a playoff game was in 2016. And they brought in 41-year-old QB Aaron Rodgers to help make that happen.
The Steelers are hoping that Rodgers can win in the playoffs after the age of 40, something few quarterbacks have done. Rodgers turns 42 in December. How crazy would it be for him to be under center in the playoffs and win a game?
And can it happen?
“I think it would be one of the great over-40 achievements in any sport if this team goes like 10-7 and he’s actually pretty good,” Bill Simmons said Thursday on the Bill Simmons Podcast.
