Aaron Rodgers Delivers Clear Message to Steelers After Near Vikings Comeback

No one knew what to expect from Steelers Aaron Rodgers in NFL Week 1.  Certainly not this.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers delivered a message through NFL Network's Pam Oliver after the team's Week 4 win.

Quarterback Aaron Rodgers led the Pittsburgh Steelers to their first international series win in the franchise’s history Sunday. But the team’s Week 4 outcome didn’t need to be in doubt as long as it was.

Thanks to a series of plays in the final 10 minutes of the fourth quarter, the Minnesota Vikings scored 15 points to pull within a field goal of forcing overtime. Then, the Vikings forced a Steelers punt with about a minute to go in regulation.

Fortunately for the Steelers, the team’s defense forced a turnover on downs. But it still seemed to be too close for comfort for the Pittsburgh quarterback.

“We have to finish that game out on offense,” Rodgers told NFL Network’s Pam Oliver on the field after the game.

The Steelers offense scored a touchdown in each quarter to help the team build an 18-point lead. But Rodgers and his unit scored just three points in the fourth.

That was just enough to hold on to defeat the Vikings 24-21.

Buffalo Bills Become First NFL Team to Launch 3-Year Support Program for Released Players
Buffalo, NY – October 5, 2025 In a groundbreaking move that could reshape how the NFL cares for its athletes, the Buffalo Bills have officially launched the league’s first-ever support program dedicated to players who have been released or are no longer able to continue their football careers. The initiative, announced on Saturday, aims to provide career transition guidance, monthly financial support, and mental health counseling for young players leaving the Bills’ academy system or those cut from the main roster. The program will run for three years, giving participants a stable foundation as they begin new lives beyond football. According to team sources, the monthly allowance will cover basic living costs and educational expenses, ensuring that players can focus on retraining and personal growth instead of financial struggle. A Bills spokesperson said the decision reflects the organization’s long-term commitment to human development, not just athletic success. “Football ends for everyone at some point — but life doesn’t. This program is our promise that every player who wore a Bills uniform will never walk alone.” NFL analysts have called the Bills’ move “a model of compassion and leadership”, noting that it sets a precedent other teams will be pressured to follow. The program also includes workshops on financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and career coaching, helping former players reintegrate into society with purpose and stability. For a franchise known for its heart and community values, this initiative marks another powerful statement. The Buffalo Bills aren’t just building champions on the field — they’re shaping lives beyond it.
