Aaron Rodgers hasn’t appeared in a playoff game since leading the Packers to a 13-10 loss to the 49ers four years ago. But he’s getting closer to a return to the playoffs with the Steelers.
After the Steelers beat the Dolphins on Monday Night Football, they are one game ahead of the Ravens in the AFC North and are the favorites to win the division. Rodgers said after the game that he was excited about the prospect of a playoff game at Pittsbuirgh.

“If we can take care of business, we’ll have a game 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 play meaningful games. We’re a game ahead in the division. There’s still a lot to play for.”
It’s possible the Steelers win the AFC North before Week 18, but if the Steelers beat the Ravens in Week 18, they will win the AFC North no matter what happens over the next two weeks. They will play meaningful football through January in Pittsburgh.
