A new mic'd up moment of the play has surfaced, and it shows the Steelers' Rodgers roasting Lions linebacker Jack Campbell , who forced Rodgers out of bounds.
Rodgers, 42, ran towards the right sideline, ultimately stepping out of bounds. Campbell tried going low, falling to the ground. Rodgers tried to help him up, but Campbell seemingly denied his attempt.
This prompted Rodgers to take a shot at Campbell's speed (or lack thereof). "Oh, you don't want me to help pick you up?" Rodgers asked. "Why? 'Cause you're slower than a 42-year-old? Is that why? [Because] you're slower than a 42 -year-old?"

Campbell's response isn't heard, but he recovered a fumble on the next play. Ultimately, Rodgers got the last laugh, as the Steelers beat the Lions in the game 29-24.

Rodgers completed 27 of his 41 passes for 266 yards. He also threw a touchdown and did not have a turnover. This was his fifth-straight game without an interception.
Despite being 42 years old, Rodgers has been efficient this season. He has thrown for 2,860 yards, 23 touchdowns, and seven interceptions. It has been a lot better than his 2024 campaign with the New York Jets . He threw for 3,897 yards, 28 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions.
However, they went 5-12. The Steelers are currently 9-6 and in first place in the AFC North. They will close out the year with two divisional matchups against the Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Ravens .
