Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers brought some heat to a frigid matchup against the Miami Dolphins at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh, Pa.
Flags flew against the home team in the closing seconds of the third quarter as Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth got penalized for an illegal shift. Some Dolphins players started jawing at Rodgers while the referees were sorting things out
The Steelers QB had the perfect message in response.
“You still talking s–t? You’re down 21-3?” Rodgers was heard shouting back.

Rodgers did more than just bark during the contest. He showed off his bite against the Dolphins in a surgical performance, recording a 23/27 passing clip for 224 yards and a pair of touchdowns in a 28-15 victory.
The score would have looking even more lopsided had Pittsburgh not ceded two garbage-time touchdowns to Miami with the game already out of reach. The win improved the Steelers’ record to 8-6, keeping them a full game ahead of the 7-7 Baltimore Ravens in the race for the AFC North crown.
44-year-old Philip Rivers made middle-aged folks everywhere proud on Sunday when he proved he could get off the couch and play at an NFL level. 42-year-old Rodgers showed the world that people their age can dish out some healthy trash talk as well.
