What's still developing
- Epstein noted that she received coach and player estimates on hand signals from other teams, and Rodgers' 75 far exceeds the Denver Broncos' 15-25, Baltimore Ravens' 20-30, and Philadelphia Eagles and Seattle Seahawks' 50-60.
- "It's a lot of signals," Steelers receiver DK Metcalf told Epstein.
- "He definitely takes pride in the signals," Steelers receiver Ben Skowronek said.
- "But I mean, they help us win football games at the end of the day when we're all connected." Still, at 42 years old, it's safe to say that Rodgers won't be changing his approach in what is likely his final NFL season.
- "And then sometimes he signals something [in practice] that maybe he used in the past and you're like, 'What the f--k is that, Aaron?'" Rodgers and the Steelers will try to improve to 3-1 when they face the Cleveland Browns (2-1) on Thursday Night Football.
- Aaron Rodgers has set plenty of NFL records during his 22-year career, and he added another one to his résumé on Thursday night against the Cleveland Browns, but then he lost the record just 16 minutes later.
- First, let's break down the record that Rodgers broke.
- Here's what the full list looked like heading into the Steelers-Browns game on Thursday night: As you can see, Rodgers went into Week 4 needing just one touchdown pass to tie Patrick Mahomes and Tom Brady in the NFL record book, and he got that pass early in the game when he connected with Roman Wilson on a short pop pass that went for a 12-yard score.

- It was a glorious 16 minutes for Rodgers, but now the record once again belongs only to Mahomes and Brady.
- The Chiefs don't face the Steelers this season, but they are scheduled to face Pittsburgh in 2027, so Mahomes will eventually get a chance to break his tie with Brady for the record.
